First published in 1925, English of To-Day deals effectively with the many common errors in the use of English and gives examples of good and bad writing from almost every department of literature. The title English of To-Day has been adopted because the errors in the use of English with which it deals are, many of them, comparatively modern.

Numerous instances of such errors have been given, partly to emphasise their existence and partly to furnish teachers of English with useful exercises for their pupils in the correction of mistakes in grammar and composition. A very full index has been appended, so as to provide the reader with a corrective to somewhat discursive character of the subject matter. This useful and amusing little manual will be of interest to English teachers and general readers.
