The Oxford Minidictionary Of Spelling and Word Division by R. E. Allen

Lo consiglio vivamente a chi lavora in inglese. Non costa niente e sta in tasca. Se ti chiama il tipografo e ti chiede come sillabare le parole “dictionary” o “dictatorial”, sai davvero la risposta? Non tutti sono d’accordo con tutto quello che stabilisce – anzi, viene forse giustamente contestato da più parti – ma per quanto riguarda il traduttore va anche bene come base di partenza e, ciò che è più importante, difficilmente trovi un cliente che rifiuta le indicazioni show more della Oxford.
