Abstract:

People read and write a range of English every day, yet what counts as
'correct' English has been narrowly defined and tested for 150 years.
This book is written for educators, students, employers and scholars
who are seeking a more just and knowledgeable perspective on English
writing. It brings together history, headlines, and research with
accessible visuals and examples, to provide an engaging overview of
the complex nature of written English, and to offer a new approach for
our diverse and digital writing world. Each chapter addresses a
particular 'myth' of “correct” writing, such as 'students today can't
write' or 'the internet is ruining academic writing', and presents the
myth's context and consequences. By the end of the book, readers will
know how to go from hunting errors to seeking (and finding) patterns
in English writing today. This title is also available as open access
on Cambridge Core.
