When Bryan Garner published the first edition in 1999, the book quickly became one of the most influential style guides ever written for the English language. Garner explains nuances of grammar and vocabulary and blunders to which modern writers and speakers are prone, whether in word choice, syntax, phrasing, punctuation, or pronunciation. The purpose of Garner’s dictionary is to help writers, editors, and speakers use language effectively. And it does so in a playful way that will help you sound “grammatical but relaxed, refined but natural, correct but unpedantic.” (5th ed. / 2022)
