Still can't figure out the difference between "between" and "among," or "farther" and "further?" Or are you dealing with writers who don't know the difference (and won't admit it)? In the land of publications, the man with the red pen is king, but only if the man knows subject/verb agreement, and how to respect writers. Don't like the sexist "the man"? The subject of sexist and non-sexist language gets the full treatment along with other vexing grammar matters in Stet Again, the "Best Of" compilation of Editorial Eye Magazine.

Whether you're a writer, editor, or even a SME (that's subject matter expert), Stet Again deserves a place on your bookshelf with Strunk and White's Elements of Style, On Writing by William Zinsser, The Chicago Manual of Style, and your company's own style guide. Think you don't need to know good grammar or style or layout with desktop publishing and spell check? Stet Again is the cure for editorial (and writer) arrogance. Illustrators, graphic designers, writers and editors can all learn to play nicely if some Good Samaritan provides each of them with a copy of Stet Again. All personnel involved in creating professional publications can recognize familiar conundrums in the many questions Editorial Eye staff members have answered over the years.

Stet Again is a writer's best friend and an editor's assistant.
