Ambrose Bierce

Written by Ambrose Bierce, 'Write it Right' is a collection of witty and opinionated commentary on the use of American English, published in the early 20th century. The book provides alphabetical examples of what Bierce deemed poor language usage, along with his suggestions for improvement. While some advice may feel outdated, it offers an interesting perspective on the evolution of style and taste in writing.
