As in previous editions, this book offers full coverage of such common mistakes as commas splices, sentence fragments, words frequently confused, words frequently misspelled, mixed metaphors, and subject-verb agreement errors. In each case the problem is clearly explained, with examples illustrating both the nature of the trouble and how to put it right.

Unlike many guides to grammar and usage, The Broadview Book of Common Errors in English refrains from dogmatism; it treats correctness in English not as an unchanging objective standard laden with moral overtones, but rather as a code of convenience that is extraordinarily useful in helping humans to communicate effectively and even elegantly. It thus retains an openness to the inevitable process of change in the English language, and recognizes that change does not always imply debasement.

The fifth edition includes coverage of CBE (as well as MLA, APA, and Chicago) style; new sections on academic writing and on business writing; and a chapter for those whose native language is not English.

A separate ESL edition of this text is also available.

As in previous editions, this book offers full coverage of such common mistakes as comma splices, sentence fragments, words frequently confused, words frequently misspelled, mixed metaphors, and subject-verb agreement errors. In each case the problem is clearly explained, with examples illustrating both the nature of the trouble and how to put it right. In addition to the updates for the fourth edition the chapters have been re-ordered and the book is produced with a lay-flat binding. And there is a new preface dealing at greater length than previously with the issue of what constitutes correctness in English. Unlike many guides to grammar and usage, 'Common Errors in English' refrains from dogmatism; it treats correctness in English not as an unchanging objective standard laden with moral overtones, but rather as a code of convenience that is extraordinarily useful in helping humans to communicate effectively and even elgantly. It thus retains an openness to the inevitable process of change in the English language, and recognizes that change does not always imply debasment..
