Is it correct to pronounce “mischievous” as a three-syllable word (miss -chi-vuhss) or a four -syllable word (miss-chee -vi-uhss)? If it is right to use “alumni” as the plural of “alumnus,” why is it wrong to use “octopi” as the plural of “octopus”? Should we write “12 am” or “12 a.m.”? What is the difference between “principle” and “principal”? Is it “just desserts” or “just deserts”? If you don’t know the answer to these questions, if you need a quick and effective guide to correct English, then Oxford A-Z of English Usage is just what you are looking for, containing a gold mine of useful advice on a wide array of common writing and speaking problems.
