This book is an exploration of the English language, composed of four sections. The first section is on English pronunciation, enunciation, and spelling, with a heavy emphasis on debunking common misconceptions. The second section covers the meanings of words, including common confusions, and even includes example sentences. The author then discusses word origins, delving into Latin and Greek to illustrate how words were formed, changed, and imported into English. The final section of the book covers grammar and syntax, with a particular eye on which parts of speech are formed by which suffixes.
