Synopsis
This selection of editorial advice is for writers, professional copy editors, or simply the curious. Bill Walsh, a longtime Washington Post copy editor, considers not only traditional conundrums (split infinitives, serial commas, dashes, hopefully, desert vs. dessert) but also the peculiar usage questions that have been raised by 21st-century life and, in particular, the rise of the Internet. Email vs. e-mail, political correctness, bullets, brackets, slang--Walsh tackles it all with aplomb, clarifying the issues and managing to make them entertaining, too.
