Great puns and language manipulation
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This is a VERY funny book on how the English/American language is SO Crazy. Like why isn't a good guy like a wise guy. This is a good book if you're interested in language manipulation or puns also a great gift to someone who's learning the language because hopefully they can laugh at the quirkiness and difficulties of the language. I enjoy all of Richard Lederer's books on the subject. I recommend all of his books if you like the subject.
Well Done!

Language has never been this funny
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This book is so hysterically and funny in parts, it hurts. You will just recover your breath when you start laughing again. And, it's not the latest stand-up collection from a comic. It's the latest collection of flubs and foibles of one of the world's most complicated and misunderstood languages: English. Richard Lederer, the unofficial king of language, has produced another gem. This should be right alongside Anguished English and The Bride of Anguished English on your bookshelf.
For Word-lovers of all persuasions

If you've read (and enjoyed!) Anguished English or More Anguished English, this book is the natural sequel and should bring many a belly laugh or tear of joy (depending on your predilections). It gave me both.
