Plain Words: A Guide to the Use of English - Rebecca Gowers
'Be short, be simple, be human.'When Sir Ernest Gowers first wrote&,nbsp,Plain Words, it was intended simply as a guide to the proper use of English for the Civil Service. Since then it has never been out of print.Six decades on, writer Rebecca Gowers has created a new edition of this now-classic work that both revises and celebrates her great-grandfather's original.&,nbsp,Plain Words&,nbsp,has been updated to reflect numerous changes in English usage, yet Sir Ernest's distinctive, witty voice is undimmed. Within a year, however, its humour, charm and authority had made it a bestseller.
And his message remains vital: our writing should be as clear and comprehensible as possible, avoiding superfluous words and clichés - from the jargon of 'commercialese' to the murky euphemisms of politicians.In a new preface, this edition draws on an extensive private archive, previously hidden away in family cupboards and attics, to tell the story behind a book that has become an institution: the essential guide to making yourself understood.
