Are standards of English alright - or should that be all right? To
knowingly split an infinitive or not to? And what about ending a
sentence with preposition, or for that matter beginning one with
'and'? We learn language by instinct, but good English, the pedants
tell us, requires rules. Yet, as Oliver Kamm demonstrates, many of
the purists' prohibitions are bogus and can be cheerfully
disregarded. ACCIDENCE WILL HAPPEN is an authoritative and deeply
reassuring guide to grammar, style and the linguistic conundrums we
all face. 'A unique and indispensable guide to usage' STEVEN PINKER
'An immensely intelligent and playful polemic, cheeky and erudite
by turns...certainly gets the blood pumping, so do read it' THE
TIMES 'A superb book' INDEPENDENT
