The A–Z of Correct English is a reference book which has been

written for the student and the general reader. It aims to tackle the

basic questions about spelling, punctuation, grammar and word usage

that the student and the general reader are likely to ask.

Throughout the book there are clear explanations, and exemplar

sentences where they are needed. When it’s helpful to draw

attention to spelling rules and patterns, these are given so that the

reader is further empowered to deal with hundreds of related words.

The aim always has been to make the reader more confident and

increasingly self-reliant.

This is a fast-track reference book. It is not a dictionary although,

like a dictionary, it is arranged alphabetically. It concentrates on

problem areas; it anticipates difficulties; it invites cross-references. By

exploring punctuation, for example, and paragraphing, it goes far

beyond a dictionary’s terms of reference. It is not intended to

replace a dictionary; it rather supplements it.

Once, in an evening class, one of my adult students said, ‘If

there’s a right way to spell a word, I want to know it.’ On another

occasion, at the end of a punctuation session on possessive

apostrophes, a college student said rather angrily, ‘Why wasn’t I told

this years ago?’

This book has been written to answer all the questions that my

students over the years have needed to ask. I hope all who now use

it will have their questions answered also and enjoy the confidence

and the mastery that this will bring.
