About Garner's Modern English Usage
GMEU is the liveliest and most compulsively readable reference work for writers of our time. It delights while providing instruction on skillful, persuasive, and vivid prose. Garner liberates English from two extremes: both from the hidebound "purists" who mistakenly believe that split infinitives and sentence-ending prepositions are malfeasances and from the linguistic relativists who believe that whatever people say or write must necessarily be accepted.
The judgments here are backed up not just by a lifetime of study but also by an empirical grounding in the largest linguistic corpora ever available. Garner has made extensive use of big data to include ratios of standard terms as compared against variants in modern print sources. No other resource provides as comprehensive, reliable, and empirical a guide to current English usage.
If you're concerned with writing and editing, GMEU will prove invaluable to you. Garner illustrates with actual examples, cited with chapter and verse, all the linguistic blunders that modern writers and speakers are prone to, whether in word choice, syntax, phrasing, punctuation, or pronunciation. No matter how knowledgeable you may already be, you're sure to learn from every single entry of this resource.

My favorite app.. but one thing
A near-perfect app, and one simple change would eliminate the “near.” Make a random entry button! My favorite part of the app is to go down an entry rabbit hole. How exciting if, like Wikipedia, one could press a button and be brought to an entry that perhaps they would not have stumbled across otherwise. This would be an easy add, please consider!

Garner's Modern English Usage is the gold standard—& this is a joy to use to prove your friends wron
Garner's Modern English Usage app is a joy to use. You can search just about any topic that is vexxing you (e.g., "comprise" versus "constitute") and find a resolution along with a detailed explanation and usage statistics. When you're in a grammar debate, you can take a screenshot and text it to your friends proving them wrong. What could be better than that?
