…have a look at: Williams and Bizup, Style: Lessons in Clarity and Grace And, for everything you ever wanted to know about standard American English usage (and how it’s shifting over time!), there is Garner’s Modern English Usage, which sounds dry but is actually fascinating (and inspired this brilliantly controversial review by David Foster Wallace: http://harpers.org/wp-content/uploads/HarpersMagazine-2001-0...).
Garner's Modern English Usage is the final word on grammar, as far as I'm concerned. Other dictionaries are pathetic postmodern excuses for language guides.
The latest edition covers non-American English too, so it's now "Garner's Modern English Usage". I first learned of this book from David Foster Wallace's review of the first edition in Harper's Magazine: https://www.webcitation.org/6FU8Zx2N0?url=http://instruct.we... I agree it is excellent,…

在我看来，《加纳现代英语用法》就是语法的终极权威。其他字典不过是后现代主义对语言指南拙劣的敷衍罢了。

最新版也涵盖了非美式英语，所以现在改叫《加纳现代英语用法》了。我最早是从大卫·福斯特·华莱士在《哈泼斯杂志》上对第一版的书评中了解到这本书的：https://www.webcitation.org/6FU8Zx2N0?url=http://instruct.we... 我完全同意它非常出色，……

……这种歧义几乎总是会干扰对话的主要目的（正如这里一样），不管合理与否，从实际操作来看，最好还是用能避开歧义的词。想获取更多关于如何安全穿行于这种语言与社会文化雷区的建议，请参阅布莱恩·加纳的《现代英语用法》。

英语用法指南必须 +1。我更喜欢更新后的《加纳现代英语用法》，因为它兼顾了更广泛的英语生态，而不单单是美式英语方言。另外，同义词词典也 +1。我手头常备一本纸质版《罗热同义词词典》（Roget's）——他就葬在离我这儿不远的街区——而且 macOS 自带了 Oxford……
