Review: The Elements of Style
The Elements of Style by William Strunk Jr.
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Every speaker/writer of the English language should read this peerless and seminal work on grammar and usage. I'll forever remember its advice (don't be breezy!) and striking imagery (nouns
"pressed into service" as verbs ala "gifted").
I recently saw this work name-check in [b:The Software Project Manager's Handbook|4943549|The Software Project Manager's Handbook|Dwayne Phillips|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1267044498s/4943549.jpg|3186853], kudos for that [a:Dwayne Phillips|1270209|Dwayne Phillips|http://www.goodreads.com/assets/nophoto/nophoto-U-50x66-251a730d696018971ef4a443cdeaae05.jpg]!
