Modern American Usage may refer simply to modern usage that is, contemporary usage or usage considered over recent decades or the modern era of American English , or to the title of any of several well known or less well known books on the subject of American English, including Follett s Modern American Usage Follett s Modern American Usage 1966 , a guide for careful writers of American English Garner s Modern American Usage Garner s Modern American Usage 2nd edition 2003 , a guide for careful writers of American English originally published 1st edition 1998 as A Dictionary of Modern American Usage of which an abridged form was published in 2000 by the Oxford University Press with the title The Oxford Dictionary of American Usage and Style . A Dictionary Modern American Usage by H. W. Horwill , published in 1935 by the Oxford University Press, and written chiefly as a comparison of American with British English. Of Horwill s book, copies of which are still sometimes found, the following can be noted. First, a copy of it might easily be taken for something like either Follett s or Garner s work, not least because only the last three words of the title were used on the hard cover on the spine. Second, Horwill said at the very beginning of his preface that his purpose was not to teach Americans how to write or speak American rather, it was firstly to help English people to understand American English, and secondly to help Americans understand how much their language had evolved to differ from other forms, particularly British English. His book was therefore very different from the other, more recent, works commonly known by the same title.

The nihongo modern kana usage Gendai Kanazukai is the present official kanazukai system of spelling the kana Japanese syllabary . Also known as shin kanazukai , new kanazukai , it is derived from the historical kana usage . History As long ago as the Meiji Restoration , there had been dissatisfaction regarding the growing discrepancy between the Written language spelling and Spoken language speech . It was on November 16, 1946, immediately following World War II that the modern orthography was instituted by the cabinet as part of a general orthographic reform. It was later amended in 1986 . General differences There were no small kana like in the pre reformed system thus, for example, would be ambiguous between kiyo and kyo while could be either katsuta or katta . The pronunciations of medial h row kana does not extend to compound words thus, was pronounced nihon , not nion. Note that there are a small number of counterexamples, e.g., duck , pronounced ahiru rather than airu , or , pronounced Fujiwara , despite being a compound of Fuji Wisteria hara field . The h row was historically pronounced as fa, fi, fu, fe, fo and even further back, pa, pi, pu, pe, po . Japanese f IPA ja IPA is close to a voiceless w , and so was easily changed to w in the middle of a word. This is also why even today fu is used rather than hu . The vowel f u compounds do not apply in compound words, for example, the name was Terauchi not Terouchi , as it is Tera temple uchi inside, home . The fu of the modern u series of verbs that is, those verbs using the actual kana such as kau or omou were not affected by the sound changes on the surface, however, some reports of Edo era Japanese indicate that verbs like tamau and harau were pronounced as tam and har instead. In contrast, the in dar and ik is a product of the sound change from au to . Furthermore ... from spelling reform. In contemporary Japanese, the character remains only in this usage.
