Redirected from Fowler
Henry W. Fowler concentrated on British usage, and set the standard for all usage books to follow. Fowler's first edition of 1926 remained in print for many years, but more recent editions have updated the book.
Fowler's remark on the split infinitive is well known:
Fowler concludes that split infinitives should not attract as much attention as they do, and says that they are indeed sometimes the best way to express one's meaning. See the split infinitive article for further discussion.
Only the first edition of the book was by Fowler. Subsequent editions were edited by other writers.
