RE: Recommendation for a usage book for a journalism student

Not a journo, Dick, but off the top of my head:

* Lapsing Into a Comma: A Curmudgeon's Guide to the Many Things That Can
Go Wrong in Print--and How to Avoid Them, by Bill Walsh. This one's an
absolute masterpiece, and,

* Words Fail Me: What Everyone Who Writes Should Know about Writing, by
Patricia T. O'Conner.

HTH, he already has been through some very good stuff....wish him luck
from us.
