Using language accurately, clearly and consistently is part of their job-and this skill is equally important for writers and editors. The second edition of Watch Your Words-now updated according to changes in AP style-is a handbook for quick and accessible classroom and newsroom use. Consistent with The Associated Press Stylebook, it establishes a baseline for language-skills knowledge in the areas of punctuation, grammar and usage, as well as AP style. It also includes a new section of supplementary self-tests. Mastery of the material in Watch Your Words can equip the student or professional with the basic tools for producing clean copy.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
Watch Your Words offers complete, concise, and cogent explanations and examples of grammar and punctuation as well as Associated Press style rules; both instructors and students will value it as a resource. It should be recommended, if not required, reading for students in English, speech, mass communications, and other communications classes. -- Marijane Wernsman, Texas Tech University A concise, focused, and useful text that potentially replaces a shelf full of grammar books not aimed at journalists. -- Rosanne V. Pagano, University of Alaska, Anchorage
