Book Description
The English language is taking a beating every day. More and more "abuses" are being "accepted" as normal. A case in point - The lost grammar battle over the use of WHO and THAT. Grammatically, it's people WHO... and things THAT... Unfortunately, the phrase "PEOPLE THAT..." is now linguistically acceptable and used almost universally, even though grammatically incorrect. The goal of That Ain't Not Right, The Use and Abuse of the English Language is twofold: to make you more aware of the proper word words, phrases, tenses, and punctuations to use in particular situations, and to suggest how to monitor and correct your own use through simply learned techniques.

Languages : en
Pages : 798
Book Description
Perhaps the first truly important book about the divergence of American English from its British roots, this survey of the language as it was spoken-and as it was changing-at the beginning of the 20th century comes via one of its most inveterate watchers, journalist, critic, and editor HENRY LOUIS MENCKEN (1880-1956).In this replica of the 1921 "revised and enlarged" second edition, Mencken turns his keen ear on: • the general character of American English • loan-words and non-English influences • expletives and forbidden words • American slang • the future of the language • and much, much more. Anyone fascinated by words will find this a thoroughly enthralling look at the most changeable language on the face of the planet.
