Writing with Style: The Economist Guide

The Economist has been publishing its guide since 1986, and it has been improving ever since. This last edition, now titled "Writing with Style", before "The Style Guide", is by Lane Greene, also the author of the magnificent weekly column "Johnson", and an enthusiast of languages.To call this book indispensable is to sell it short. It has many sections, all packed with knowledge and insights on how to write (or read or even listen). Only for the first chapter, a succinct essay on how the English language was formed and shaped by successive invasions (Roman, Anglo-Saxon, Norman), this book is worth buying it.I challenge anyone, whatever the trade or walk of life, who cannot find at least a bunch of sound advice on how to use English. For those who use the language as a daily tool, this will be essential.

As you'd hope for, this style guide is full of good tips for how to write like a human, not a bot!
