Ha ha – try again. You might get “leverage” or “ideate” . . .

This time I got ‘roadmap’. It has to be a fix!

Someone’s having a laugh, Ben – I wonder who it could be? Next time you comment you might get “leverage” or “ideate”!

Good choices. I’d add in Don Watson’s Gobbledygook as well – a fine rant.

By the way, your anti-spam word was ‘synergy’ and I’ve taken a screenshot to prove it. It’s havin’ a laff, ain’t it?

I had no idea about the John Humphrys one. Off to Amazon I go…

One book about writing I really enjoyed reading was ‘write to the point’ by Bill Stott

Then you are in for a treat with the others, Brad!

Thanks for the recommendations, Clare. Bryson’s book is the only one among them I’ve read, and it was fabulous.
