Bryan A. Garner
What is the singular of paparazzi? Is graffiti singular or plural? What about kudos?
Should I say empathic or empathetic? What is the correct pronunciation of concierge, schism, or flaccid?
In this book of crisp, precise, and often witty pronouncements on modern American English, Bryan Garner decisively answers these and thousands of other questions that bedevil those who care about the language. Garner draws on a host of evidence to support his judgments, citing thousands of examples - good, bad, and ugly - from sources such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and Newsweek.
