5.0 out of 5 stars The Book That Will Let You Know Why, March 25, 2000

By	"onifuji" (Kobe, Japan) - See all my reviews

This book is arranged alphabetically like a dictionary, but to my mind this is much more than that. This book will help you when you need to know "All or All of?" or "Affect or Effect?". And it will also let you know some facts hidden behind grammar rules. I didn't know why the words "a six-foot man" are used instead of "a six-feet man". This book told me that this derives from Old English, which had no distinctive plural sign. I have learned lots of interesting facts or information about the proper use of English words, correct punctuation and confusing problems involved in learning English. No one will find this book unintersting. I strongly recommend this to all students of English.

5.0 out of 5 stars Want to be a wordsmith?, March 26, 2001

By	Cowboy Bill "cowboybill" (Omaha, NE USA) - See all my reviews

Here's the deal: Take a weekend to read through the 256 pages of this inexpensive, easy-to-read reference guide and you'll soon know more about English usage than 95% of the people you work with. Even the English majors, I kid you not.

You'll soon gain the reputation of being the office wordsmith. People will look at you differently. You'll gain more respect. And you'll get a 120% raise come review time. (OK, maybe you won't get a raise, but you will feel pretty darn knowledgable. Oh, what a feeling.)

God bless you, Mr. Bernstein, wherever you are. I just wish I had all of your books when I was still in college.
