Based on Evan Jenkins's long-running column 'Language Corner' in \u003cem\u003eColumbia Journalism Review\u003c\/em\u003e, the book is compiled of brief, alphabetically arranged entries on approximately 200 major writing stumbling blocks, from the wonderful world of 'that' and 'which' to trickier terrain like the correct usage of common idiomatic expressions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWorking from his experiences as a newsroom editor and teacher, Jenkins' humorous tone puts the reader at ease, unlike many of the writing and usage guides out there that are off-putting in their rigidity and dogmatism. He takes the 'we're-all-in-this-together' approach to teaching better writing - maintaining a light tone throughout the book and emphasizing flexibility and easy-to-use guidelines rather than delivering orders from Grammar-on-high.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEvan Jenkins\u003c\/strong\u003e writes the \"Language Corner\" column of the \u003cem\u003eColumbia Journalism Review\u003c\/em\u003e. and is a consulting editor of \u003cem\u003eCJR\u003c\/em\u003e.
