This amusing A-to-Z compendium by a celebrated literary wit outlines common oral and written gaffes. It advocates precision in language, offering correct alternatives to grammatical lapses and inaccurate word choices. Times and usages have changed, rendering Bierce's strict rules inappropriate for modern writers. They remain, however, a timeless source of interest for lovers of language.

reviewed Write It Right: A Little Blacklist of Literary Faults on July 16, 2020 Write It Right
Originally published in 1909, this guide is great for helping all of us recognize the true extent of our own pet peeves about word usage and grammar. We've all got 'em (two in particular that I scream out loud at are "utilize" (use would work just fine) and "impact" used as a verb). Bierce was not writing this list as satire, although the explanations are very funny; instead, he truly intended that folks should abide by his rules. I suspect he was disappointed daily.
