Graduation? Father’s Day? gift ideas are here…

find the right words

Are you looking for that special gift for a recent graduate? I have just the thing for you; A Dictionary of Modern English Usage (Oxford) by H.W. Fowler. Henry Watson Fowler was an extraordinary scholar of the English language. This essential guide was first published in 1926.

Your graduate will have the perfect tool for navigating through the proper words, grammar and style for clear and concise writing. Whenever your graduate wonders about when to use Who or Whom, the proper usage of a parenthesis, when to use longer words, the false allurements of elegant language, etc. Linguistic marvels and clarifications abound here. I wish somebody had thought to give me this book for my graduation.
