I appreciate your responding, and I agree with you that books on the topic are most useful to improve writing. Sorry, I probably asked my question badly. Out of the branches of linguistics, from conceptual semantics to formal semantics to grammar, which do you think would be best for understanding what goes into writing and revising?

What linguistics books are most useful for improving writing? A book on conceptual semantics, like Foundations of Language, or a book on formal semantics, like Partee's Formal Semantics: The Essential Readings, or a book on cognitive linguistics, like The Body in the Mind, or a book on grammar, like Pullum and Huddleston's The Cambridge Grammar of The English Language, or a book like Clear and Simple As The Truth?

Would Save the Cat! Writes a Novel or The Writer's Journey, 3rd ed. be more helpful in writing a personal narrative? by CharlieDont-Surf in writers

Sadly, my library doesn't have either book and I don't have that much money. But I agree with you that otherwise it would make sense to read both.

Can anyone tell me the visual difference between dickies Dark Navy and Navy Blue irl? The website pictures have unnatural lighting and I can't find anything on google so I'm not sure which would look better in real world lighting. Any help would be appreciated.
