What is the singular of 'paparazzi'? Is 'graffiti' singular or plural? Should I say 'empathic' or 'empathetic'? What is the correct pronunciation of 'concierge'?
In this [[book]] of crisp, precise and often witty pronouncements on modern [[American English]], Bryan Garner decisively answers these and hundreds of other questions that bedevil those who care about the language. Garner draws on a host of evidence to support his judgements, citing thousands of examples - good, bad, and ugly - from sources such as [[The New York Times]], [[The Wall Street Journal]], and [[Newsweek]].
