English is now the global language for written communication, and there is a growing recognition that good writing is as important as the most advanced technology if people want to impress clients and colleagues and outdo competitors. This book is a pocket-sized, information-packed, entertaining and invaluable A to Z guide aimed at both the workplace and the home. It answers all those questions you might hear one person asking another in an office, such as: Is it 'a hotel' or 'an hotel'? What are split infinitives, and should you avoid them? Do you know when to use 'that' or 'which'? Is a semi-colon like a comma? When do you use a colon? It's website? Its website? Where do you put the apostrophe? They say don't use clichés, but what are clichés? Is it 'between you and me' or 'between you and I'? What happens when you have brackets inside brackets?
