Are you sure?<br><br>With <i>Troublesome Words</i>, journalist and bestselling travel-writer Bill Bryson gives us a clear, concise and entertaining guide to the problems of English usage and spelling that has been an indispensable companion to those who work with the written word for over twenty years. <br><br>So if you want to discover whether you should care about split infinitives, are cursed with an uncontrollable outbreak of commas or were wondering if that newsreader was right to say '<i>an </i>historic day', this superb book is the place to find out.</p>
