| Abstract
|
:
|
"Whether you're a manager, an administrative assistant, a student, or a webmaster, at some point on the job you'll also need to become editor, writer, and proofreader. And no matter what you read or write-business reports, term papers, even the simplest e-mail memos-it has to be free of errors before it leaves your hands. With this all-in-one guide at your side, you can be sure that every sentence is written the right way. Book jacket."--Jacket.
