But have you ever wondered why the English language turned out like it did If so, this is the book for you. It will also answer some VERY important questions . . .- Why do we have the Vikings to thank for words like glitter and sky - Why did LOL used to mean little old ladies - And why did no one know what majestic meant until Shakespeare came along In this epic journey through words, rhymes - and even a few jokes - Bill Bryson will teach you how the English language came to be and what makes it a rich and beautiful thing.Get ready . . . because the story of the English language is an EXTRAORDINARY one.
