Description
"Mary Norris has spent more than three decades in The New Yorker's copy department, maintaining its celebrated high standards. Now she brings her vast experience, good cheer, and finely sharpened pencils to help the rest of us in a boisterous language book as full of life as it is of practical advice. [The book] features Norris's ... descriptions of some of the most common and vexing problems in spelling, punctuation, and usage--comma faults, danglers, 'who' vs. 'whom,' 'that' vs. 'which,' compound words, gender-neutral language--and her ... explanations of how to handle them"--Dust jacket flap.
