Description: In business, detail is everything. From CEOs to PR assistants, from top executives to business students--at every level, it is essential to understand the latest business terms, know the subtle distinctions between commonly used words, and be able to craft each sentence for maximum precision and impact. "The Wall Street Journal "Essential Guide to Business Style and Usage has been that newspaper's style bible since Paul Martin first edited it in 1981, and now it's available to anyone who wants to write well for the business community. Organized in easy-to-reference A-to-Z format, with appropriate cross-references, it answers every question relating to grammar, spelling, punctuation, usage, style, and terminology--such as the key difference between "adjusted gross receipts" and "adjusted gross income"; the new name for Andersen Consulting; and when to use "allude" rather than "refer." (And that's only in the "A" section.) This guide provides an unmistakable edge in making every piece of writing informed, cogent, polished, and above all, accurate. In the lightning-paced and unforgiving world of business, it's the book that no one can afford to be without.
