Description

Several years ago William Safire devoted one of his newspaper columns to a list of fumblerules--a mistake that calls attention to the rule. Here, culled, winnowed, beefed up and edited, are the best fumblerules he has collected in the interim. An entertaining treasure, Fumblerules is the perfect gift for lovers of language.
