Miss Thistlebottom's Hobgoblins The Careful Writer's Guide to the Taboos Bugbears and Outmoded Rules of English Usage
Author: Theodore M. Bernstein
Once you recall that Miss Thistlebottom was your elementary-school teacher who laid down all manner of taboos concerning the use of language, you will have an idea of what this book is about. In no sense permissive or radical, it topples the taboos that lack historical, logical or grammatical basis. It is a refreshing look at our living language.
