Synopsis
Updated and expanded, this popular writer's style manual covers the basics of effective communication. It includes rules of English grammar and sentence structure, punctuation, word usage in correct contexts, and advice on adapting one's writing style to different assignments, both for classroom and business use. In classrooms the program contained in this book can constitute a course, proceeding from easy to more complex ideas. More advanced instruction covers topics that include logic, clarity, emphasis, consistency, and punctuation, and ends with advice on handling larger elements of language, such as paragraphs and full essays.
