Toronto, Canada (Globe & Mail): The current doyen of linguistic correctness is William Safire, who's been writing the On Language column for The New York Times Magazine since what seems like the Coolidge administration. How Not to Write: The Essential Misrules of Grammar (Norton, 157 pages, $19.50), is a slim (very slim) paperback that collects 50 of Safire's columns on such matters as hyphenation ("big-business executive" and "big business executive" mean very different things) and hyperbole (most of you wouldn't actually give your right arm for a cold beer this summer).
