English, with its often fiendish spelling, numerous homophones and
homogaphs, and regional variation, can have even the most
experienced writer (whether native or not) insecure. Thankfully,
volumes such as The Good Word Guide are there to offer
guidance...the layout of this book is very clear, making
consultation very easy. The beauty of this reference work is
certainly its ease of use and the fact that, while being
comprehensive, it remains compact...for those needing a good,
authoritative, handy reference work on how to write, The Good Word
Guide will certainly be helpful.
