That's Not English
Author: Erin Moore
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 1473523362
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
In this brilliant transatlantic survival guide, Erin Moore examines the key differences between the British and the Americans through their language. You’ll discover why Americans give – and take – so many bloody compliments and never, ever say ‘shall’ (well hardly ever), as well as what the British really mean when they say ‘proper’, why they believe it is better to be bright than clever and how the word sorry has at least eight different meanings for them.

Book Description
Excerpt from Americanisms, Old and New: A Dictionary of Words, Phrases and Colloquialisms Peculiar to the United States, British America, the West Indies, &C., &C., Their Derivation, Meaning and Application Such is the beginning; who can tell what the end will be; or how far American in uence will modify the noble English language? Not that such modification and enlargement are to be feared per se. Already history records five periods - Early and Late anglo-saxon, and Old, Middle, and Modern English - and a careful study of the situation seems to indicate that we are on the threshold Of a sixth period; that even our Mother tongue, like the rest of the social fabric, is again passing through a period Of transition.
