These books and websites are especially recommended as reference works of first resort, the ones most likely to answer your questions with the best information. They are reliable, readily available, and respected by language professionals. We often use them when researching questions for the show and for our own writing, though of course we have our own libraries and digital archives with many volumes and many gigabytes of data. - Martha and Grant, A Way With Words
