Description:
US: Oxford University Press, 1996. Very Good. Millions of us are professional writers without even being aware of it. Eve ryday we write countless letters, memos, instructions, legal documents, and reports. And often this writing is criticized for being full of jargon, or obscure, or long-winded, or just not in "plain English." But what is plain English, and how does one write it? The Plain English Guide offers down-to -earth advice and twenty easy-to-follow guidelines covering plain words, se ntence length, active and passive verbs, punctuation, planning, and good or ganization of points. Martin Cutts has probably taught more writers about p lain English than anyone else. This book distills his knowledge and experie nce, and is an essential guide for anyone who writes at work, as well as st udents in business and professional courses.
