{"product_id":"write-it-right-ambrose-bierce-9781718763272","title":"Write It Right","description":"Several hundred of Bierce's pet peeves. Bierce's list includes some distinctions still familiar today-the which-that rule, less vs. fewer, lie and lay - but it also abounds in now-forgotten shibboleths: Ovation, the critics of his time agreed, meant a Roman triumph, not a round of applause. Reliable was an ill-formed coinage, not for the discriminating. Donate was pretentious, jeopardize should be jeopard, demean meant \"comport oneself,\" not \"belittle.\" And Bierce made up a few peeves of his own for good measure. We should say \"a coating of paint,\" he instructed, not \"a coat.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ambrose Bierce\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1718763271\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781718763272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/10\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 44\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.09d","brand":"Ambrose Bierce","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48800494878975,"sku":"9781718763272","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/write-it-right-ambrose-bierce-9781718763272","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
