Qui connaît l’origine du mot bureau ? La bure, étoffe grossière protégeant un meuble, a vécu bien des aventures avant de devenir un espace de travail...La langue française, réputée si formelle, recèle d’innombrables histoires méconnues, parfois rocambolesques, souvent inattendues, toujours riches d’enseignement.Du français des Canadiens à celui des Belges, sans oublier le passage à la postérité du comte de Sandwich, Henriette Walter décortique amoureusement les subtilités de notre langue bien-aimée.
