Simple answers to your English problems

When you have question about the English language, be it about spelling or grammar, who do you turn to for help? All you want is a simple answer to your question, not a complete lesson in grammar. A dictionary will help you with spelling, but will not help with other things. A good book can help, but is it written in plain English that is easy to understand? Is it up to date?

Turning to your friends can be of help, but quite often then don't really know either. Others may give you advice based on what they were taught in school by their teacher, but can this information be relied upon?

Searching on the internet for more information about a specific word's usage can be a very hit-and-miss affair. Sometimes the advice applies to American English when you are using British English and other times the information can be wrong.
