Information Research Weblog

An excellent website that I have been enjoying for some months now is produced by Michael Quinion.

If you want to know correct use of the English language (at least as the English speak it), then this is the place to look. If he doesn't have an answer to your question on his site, then send him an email.

But the site doesn't deal exclusively with British English usage. Mention is frequently made of American English usage and Australian and New Zealand English usage.

It's an excellent site on which to perform a search for a word or phrase, or perhaps enjoy the "surprise me" function (as I have been).
