Can anyone recommend a good, authoritative, online guide to grammar (English usage)?

You might follow some links here: UK style guides
There's the Guardian style guide

Why on-line? Just get a copy of Fowler's.
I've never explored on-line guides, so can't tell you anything about them.

Why did the bus I was behind on the way home last night stink of ammonia?

The SCR process involves the injection of urea into the exhaust pipe. The urea decomposes and hydrolyses to ammonia (NH3) which reacts with NOx and reduces it to harmless nitrogen and water

Teachers' or students' perspective?

The SCR process involves the injection of urea into the exhaust pipe.

Coming soon to a car near you, as some manufacturers will be using SCR to get small diesels to pass Euro 6 tests. If it's working properly, you shouldn't get significant amounts of ammonia in the tail pipe, so stinky buses are likely to be suffering from a defective sensor somewhere.

I was going to suggest 'The Complete Plain Words' by Sir Ernest Gowers as an old fashioned (i.e. printed) possibility - my copy dates from 1963, priced 3/6.
When I looked to see if it was still in print (a revised version is) I found it as a free download - not quite an online guide but getting closer...
