Abuse Stoppers

I think I've complained enough times about abuse of the written word that its time to recommend a couple things to Stop the Insanity!*. I know that a couple colleges use The Brief Penguin Handbook, of which their are several edition and some of them have some e-learning tools included. One college I know uses it exclusively for all classes. More than one of my friends recommend the Strunk and White tome, The Elements of Style. I've never used The Elements of Style, but I do trust those who recommend it. You can possibly find both of them used.

















*Apologies to Susan Powter, all English teachers, and those who just had a flashback at the mention of the name.
