USAGE AND ABUSAGE  

About this book

From the back of the book
An updated edition of a useful, entertaining guide to picking the right words (and avoiding the wrong ones). Which is preferred--nom de plume, pseudonym, or pen name? What are neologisms, disguised conjunctions, and fused participles? Language enters into almost every part of human life and yet it is all too often misused: directness and clarity disappear in a whirl of clichs, euphemisms, and wooliness of expression.
