Next year is a Fowler year. The Fowler year, when we will be commemorating the 100th anniversary of his Modern English Usage. We’re definitely looking forward to it! Anticipating 2026 in this light, Bryan Garner, author of OUP’s well-known Garner’s Modern English Usage, devoted his November 2025 column in the online National Review to a reconsideration of Fowler. Thank you, Bryan, for allowing us to share your column on Fowler with our readers!
