According to the Oxford Dictionary, a cornerstone is the foundation stone of a building.

By extension, it means an “indispensable part or basis” of a structure.

Correct English usage is the necessary foundation for any communication --

the message is lost unless the language is as close to perfection as possible.

 

 

“Proper words in proper places,

 make the true definition of style.”

 - Jonathan Swift -
