| Description | Write It Right: A Little Blacklist of Literary Faults is a book by American writer Ambrose Bierce, first published in 1909. It includes several hundred of Bierce's pet peeves, the list including some distinctions still familiar today. The which-that rule, less vs. fewer, lie and lay – but it also has now-forgotten rules: 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. |
