This is a selection of articles I have written on English language issues, mostly as a result of questions that kept coming up in various places about correct usage of apostrophes and suchlike.

• Problems with apostrophes
• Style issues
• My technical style guide: Web site or website?
• Common errors in grammar, punctuation or spelling
• Incorrect corrections: things people believe to be poor English, but which are in fact fine.
