Petras, Kathryn.

Wretched writing: a compendium of crimes against the English language / Ross Petras and Kathryn Petras. - First edition. - New York : A Perigee Book, [2013] - ix, 214 pages ; 23 cm

Includes index.

Wretched writing is the lowest of the low; it is a felonious assault on the English language. Exuberantly excessive, it is a sin committed often by amateurs and all-too-frequently by gifted writers having an off day. In short, it’s very bad writing. Truly bad. Appallingly bad.
