Recommended books:

First of all, a good dictionary. Merriam-Webster is good (accurate definitions, and much of the broadcast industry uses it both for definitions and as a pronunciation guide for announcers and newscasters).

A couple of style manuals. On the shelf above my desk, within easy reach, I have the Chicago Style Manual and the New York Times Manual of Style and Usage. Both of these are available on-line, but it's better by far to have hard-copies at hand. I also have an excellent volume entitled Getting the Words Right:   How to Revise, Edit, and Rewrite (from a quote by Ernest Hemingway when he was asked why he had rewritten the last chapter of one of his novels twenty-nine times: "I was just trying to get the words right.").

An absolute must is a small volume that is essential to anyone who wants or needs to write anything beyond a "twitter" and have the words understandable to fellow humans who speak English:   Elements of Style, by William Strunk, Jr. and E. B. White, known among writers as, simply, "Strunk and White."

These should be readily available in any well-appointed book store, and most certainly through Amazon.

But beyond this, none of this will really help unless you have a clear idea of what it is you are trying to say. Mere grunts will not suffice.

No need to thank me. I'm always glad to help.
