This book's first edition was published in 1982. Only seven years later I decided to revise it, but not because I thought it had so quickly become out of date. It was based on more than twenty years of experience as a book editor and more than half a life spent largely in well-spoken company and I didn't think either it or I was substantially dated. I was aware of some new uses and misuses of the language and wanted to comment on them, but my primary intent was to rectify shortcomings that had been exposed by seven years of testing the book against writing I had edited or read for pleasure and speech I had heard. I wanted to expand my discussions of many details, modify my judgments on a few matters, increase the number of cross- references, and enlarge the Glossary/Index—all of which I have done.
