Plain English is good, clear English, says Harry Blamires. It is unambiguous and uses language correctly, and because it is never muddled or confused, neither is the reader or listener. Illustrating the many pitfalls of written and spoken English, from misuse of vocabulary to mixed metaphors, this unpedantic, common-sense guide is a must for speakers and writers who wish to express themselves fluently.
