Working with Words: A Concise Handbook for Media Writers and Editors

Brian S. Brooks

4.9/5 (28486 ratings)

Description:In many ways, Working with Words differs little from other grammar books. It accomplishes its task very well, though. A highlight of this book has to be its organization. The book is divided into 11 chapters and 4 appendixes. All the basics are covered: sentences, phrases and clauses; the parts of speech; punctuation, etc. Other sections cover tight writing, muddled language and "sexism, racism and other '-isms.'" But the absolute best parts of this book are the lists and appendixes. "What to Tighten A-Z" offers a quick guide to getting rid of phrases that are wordy, redundant or cliché. "Confused words" helps you decide whether to use continual or continuous, fortuitous or fortunate among many others. Sections on common mistakes and frequently misspelled words also help you avoid errors. But my favorite section has to be the one called "One word, two words, or hyphenated?" It is a fabulously quick and easy reference.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
