This guide to common writing mistakes (discovery via del.ico.us) looks to be a worthwhile read. In an age and technical leap where we can publish to the waiting masses (be they the 10 readers of this blog, or the thousands of a blog like idlewords), investing in our ability to use language always pays off.
We don't all have inhouse editors (or the ability to pay editorial consultants). Self-help ahoy!
Also worth noting, of course, is Eats, Shoots & Leaves, currently getting both offline and online press galore.

Excellent find.
Posted by: Greg on April 28, 2004 09:51 AMEats, Shoots & Leaves was featured in my last Common Reader catalog. They usually steer me right about such things.
It is worth mentioning that Strunk & White is actually an affordable little book which is pleasant to read and reread.

But hundreds of the most refined, elite readers on the Internet, of course.
