Links related to usage, writing, and research
The following are only a few of the many Internet sites that
students--or anyone--might find useful in finding usage and other kinds of
writing help. A note of warning: while all of these sites are in at least
some ways useful, some of them might offer information that conflicts
slightly with the usage manual your instructor has required for your class.
Remember that, unless stated otherwise, your class usage manual (A Writer's
Reference or The Harbrace College Handbook) is and will remain the
standard for your composition course. Please report any dead links.
