Elegance of language may not be in the power of all of us; but simplicity and
straightforwardness are. Write much as you would speak; speak as you think.
If with your inferior, speak no coarser than usual; if with your superiors, no finer.
Be what you say; and, within the rules of prudence, say what you are. -Alford

English usage and American English. English, grammar, style, rules, usage. A practical and authoritative guide to contemporary English with a detailed look at grammar, style, diction, word formation, gender, social groups and scientific forms. This valuable reference work is ideal for students, writers, academicians and anybody concerned about proper writing style  http://www.bartleby.com/64/

The plan for the second edition of the classic reference work 'The King's English' was dictated by the following considerations: (i) to pass by all rules, of whatever absolute importance, that are shown by observation to be seldom or never broken; and (ii) to illustrate by living examples, with the name of a reputable authority attached to each, all blunders that observation shows to be common  http://www.bartleby.com/116/

Asserting that one must first know the rules to break them, this classic reference book is a must-have for any student and conscientious writer. Intended for use in which the practice of composition is combined with the study of literature, it gives in brief space the principal requirements of plain English style and concentrates attention on the rules of usage and principles of composition most commonly violated  http://www.bartleby.com/141/

This classic was written to clarify the discrepancies between British and American English and to define the distinguishing characteristics of American English. Mencken's groundbreaking study was undoubtedly the most scientific linguistic work on the American language to date and continues to serve as a definitive resource in the field  http://www.bartleby.com/185/

Military/War

Military Ranks - English>Portuguese, Portuguese>English. Army, military ranks, navy, air force. Bob Feron, Head of Language Services Brazilian Embassy, Washington D.C. Indispensable. "The correct translations of many military ranks cannot be found in any dictionary. This is because the rules of international military and diplomatic protocol require that all military ranks must be translated in accordance with the title of the corresponding rank of the precise military counterpart in the other country, which is a function of the number of stars, stripes and other insignia on each officer's uniform. In this regard, the words that constitute the title associated with each officer's rank are almost irrelevant in determining the correct translation, a fact that confuses many otherwise experienced translators. Thus international rules of protocol require some translations that are quite counter-intuitive, especially among the flag officer ranks. Please see, for example, the translations listed below for the Army and Air Force Generals, as well as for all Marine Corps officers above the rank of First Lieutenant."
