The Language Whisperer's Handbook
Grammar rules are like speed limits on a winding mountain road - they exist for good reason, but sometimes you need to accelerate through a curve to feel the true joy of driving. Benjamin Dreyer, Random House's copy chief for over thirty years, has crafted a style guide that manages to be both authoritative and wickedly funny. English evolved anarchically, absorbing vocabulary with each foreigner who set foot on British soil, to say nothing of American mischief. It has no enforceable laws, much less someone to enforce the laws it doesn't have. This anarchic evolution is precisely what makes our language both frustrating and beautiful.
