    Summary note
    Written to be a constant desktop companion, Write Right! simplifies the most important points of the English language. Quotations from literature and popular culture add a humorous note while illustrating proper and improper usage; an expanded section on confused and abused words untangles the usage of commonly mangled words and phrases. --From publisher's description.
