A while ago someone recommended "Garner's Modern American Usage" by
Bryan Garner. I find this to be an indispensable tool for the
TECHNICAL writer (i.e. me, the non-English major). I even signed up
for his tip of the day at: http://www.us.oup.com/us/subscriptions/subscribe/?view=usa
Obviously, if you are not writing for the American market, not as useful. :-)
And to whoever recommended it, thanks!
