This new edition has been fully revised, reorganized, and updated to make its content even more accessible.
There are new chapters discussing customer-service writing and common blunders in the workplace, while other sections have been amended to update examples and provide easier routes through the book.
The chapter on sexism, in particular, has been heavily expanded to advise on the use of inclusive language in general.
