Slips of speech : $b a helpful book for everyone who aspires to correct the everyday errors of speaking and writing

"Slips of Speech" by John H. Bechtel is a manual for improving language skills. It highlights common errors in speaking and writing. It is designed to assist those who want to improve how they use language. The book starts by explaining why it's important to have a tool that fixes the language mistakes people make when they talk or write. It argues that while some great writers are naturally gifted, most people need rules and advice to help them speak and write well. Bechtel talks about how important it is to have good taste in language, meaning that good communication involves picking the right words and putting them together carefully, as well as knowing what mistakes to avoid. The introduction prepares the reader for a thorough look at different language mistakes and advice on how to fix them, which the book then provides in later chapters.
