Synopsis

Greenville Kleiser's reference book Fifteen Thousand Useful Phrases was written to understand our false use of phrases in every day communication with out understanding the real meaning of those phrases. In the preface author mentions as "All persons should avoid using words whose meanings they do not know, and with the correct application of which they are unfamiliar. The best spoken and the best written English is that which conforms to the language as used by men and women of culture—a high standard, it is true, but one not so high that it is unattainable by any earnest student of the English tongue."
