What Not to Write

Kay Sayce

September 2006 / ISBN 978 09552798 0 5
152 pp / 175 x110mm / hardback / £8.99

A pocket-sized, information-packed and entertaining A-to-Z guide that answers all those questions you hear one person asking another in an office, such as: Is it ‘a hotel’ or ‘an hotel’? Do you know when to use ‘that’ or ‘which’? Is a semi-colon like a comma? How should you write an e-mail?

It covers acronyms, ambiguity, American-English, bureaucratese, business English, captions, clichés, grammar, hyphens, jargon, punctuation, quotations, sexist writing, spelling, writing letters and much, much more. The book’s underlying message is that simple English is the best English.
