Description:
That or Which, and Why is aimed at word lovers of all stripes. Based on the author's long-running column "Language Corner" in the Columbia Journalism Review, That or Which, and Why is filled with brief, alphabetically arranged entries on the major writing stumbling blocks, from the wonderful world of "that" or "which" to trickier terrain like the right way to use common idiomatic expressions. Forsaking the rigidity and dogmatism of other writing and usage guides, Evan Jenkins takes the "we're all in this together" approach to teaching better writing--maintaining a light tone throughout the book and emphasizing flexibility, common sense, and easy-to-use guidelines rather than orders from Grammar-on-high.--[book cover].
