Today I was delighted to receive this book in the mail. For those who love grammar and the precise use of words, this is the book for you. It has helpful clarifications between such words as adjure and abjure; it rightly denounces the use of everyday as an adverb; and it relishes its stance of preserving the clarity, and even the truth and goodness, of language: To misuse allude for elude is common, and can mean only that the writing of those who do so is itself common.
