[1] References to Bryan A. Garner’s claims and positions refer to this fourth edition, not the fifth, which I do not yet own in print.
[2] An invaluable resource for mapping lexical trends, Google’s Ngram Viewer is not impeccable. Scientific and academic articles compose a disproportionate number of its sources, which may bias reported usage and suggest results due more to unbalanced data than true historical trends. I’ve also noticed a few odd popularity surges consistently tied to the last ten years, which I mention in their respective entries. These are not proof of error, though their similarity to one another strikes me as peculiar. Nonetheless, Google’s Ngram Viewer still proves useful for comparing standard and variant forms and American and British English differences.
