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...

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