"Fewer" or "less"; "different from" or "different to"; "to boldly go" or "to go boldly". The English language is a minefield of common errors and disputed points, but this book intends to be a hand to help. Dealing with wide-ranging problems of grammar, syntax, punctuation, spelling, usage and style, all articles have examples of incorrect usage, drawn from contemporary newspapers, magazines, books, television and radio. These help pinpoint the errors common in written or spoken English, and the correct examples indicate how best to avoid these pitfalls in one's own use of the English language.
