Bryson's Dictionary for Writers and Editors.(Transworld Publishers) 网盘下载 pdf 免费 2025 在线 epub 电子版

What is the difference between cant and jargon, or assume and

presume? What is a fandango? How do you spell supersede? Is it

hippy or hippie? These questions really matter to Bill Bryson, as

they do to anyone who cares about the English language. Originally

published as "The Penguin Dictionary for Writers and Editors",

"Bryson's Dictionary for Writers and Editors" has now been

completely revised and updated for the twenty-first century by Bill

Bryson himself. Here is a very personal selection of spellings and

usages, covering such head-scratchers as capitalization, plurals,

abbreviations and foreign names and phrases. Bryson also gives us

the difference between British and American usages, and

miscellaneous pieces of essential information you never knew you

needed, like the names of all the Oxford colleges, or the correct

spelling of Brobdingnag. An indispensable companion to all those

who write, work with the written word, or who just enjoy getting

things right, it gives rulings that are both authoritative and

commonsense,all in Bryson's own inimitably goodhumoured way.
