Robert Gorrell
In this lively, playful celebration of the joys and power of language, Gorrell points to all the signs that show English to be alive and well, and, like any other living thing, constantly evolving. Watch Your Language! covers a wide array of topics of interest to all aficionados of English, from political doublespeak to spelling, from etymology to puns and wordgames.
