Accidence (Shall) Will Happen: the non-pedantic guide to English Usage by Oliver Kamm
Is it Mothers' Day or Mother's Day? Does it matter if I sometimes split an infinitive? Is a man hung or hanged? Should I never use a preposition to end a sentence with? This is a book for those who love the strength of the English language, it's ability to change and grow and can recognise that some so-called rules are just conventions. The author, a self-confessed former stickler, is a Times columnist and leader writer.
