The Guardian Stylebook

by David Marsh

Several hundred journalists contribute to any day's edition of the Guardian, and they make mistakes, but whether online or on paper the Guardian wants the words they use to work as hard as they can, which means the language chosen must be clean, contemporary and consistent. The Guardian Stylebook offers the general reader access to that wealth of expertise, and turns grammatical errors, and the hundreds of spelling mistakes that are the inevitable consequence of printing millions of words a week, into lessons to benefit anyone who puts pen to paper or keystrokes to screen.
