The Elements of Style is an American English writing style guide in numerous editions. The original was composed by William Strunk Jr. in 1918, and published by Harcourt in 1920, comprising eight "elementary rules of usage", ten "elementary principles of composition", "a few matters of form", a list of 49 "words and expressions commonly misused", and a list of 57 "words often misspelled". The Elements of Style was listed as one of the 100 best and most influential books written in English since 1923 by Time in its 2011 list. NOTE: This edition is from 1920 and doesn't reflect the changes that have occurred in modern English since that time.
