About this title

Review

?The book is delightfully documented with many cases, some humorous and some sad, of the misuse of words, and sets forth bravely the many difficulties in the pathway toward general improvements of our use of language. It is thoroughly practical. . . . There is even a chapter on when to keep still!?-Scientific Book Club Review
