Preface to the Sixth Edition

It is now more than 60 years since this book was first published. It has gone through many revisions, and additions have been made at different times in its history. With the millennium approaching it was decided that there were some points of usage which are no longer relevant and so this new edition has been prepared. The content has been completely reviewed in the light of mode English usage, and the typefaces and design up-dated for clarity.
And yet the original concept and, indeed, most of the original mistakes listed, are still pertinent to students of English even in the year
2000. This little book has sold several hundred thousand copies all over the world and seems likely to go on doing so.
The author's note on how the book should be used is on page vii, with an addition for this edition.
