BIBLIOGRAPHY AND SUGGESTED READING
* * *
Throughout the text I have in general referred to the following books by the surname of the author, ignoring the contributions of those who revised the originals. Thus although Sir Ernest Gowers substantially revised A Dictionary of Modern English Usage in 1965, that book is referred to throughout the text as “Fowler.” References to “Gowers” are meant to suggest Gowers’s own book, The Complete Plain Words.
