(4.17) | 3 | First published in 1926, A Dictionary of Modern English Usage is one of the most celebrated reference books of the twentieth century.

Oplysning om flertydighed |
Oplysninger fra den engelske Almen Viden Redigér teksten, så den bliver dansk. The New Fowler's Modern English Usage is a wholesale rewrite of earlier editions of H. W. Fowler's classic work A Dictionary of Modern English Usage, originally published in 1926. As a result, the third edition is a distinct work from the original edition by Fowler. | |
