Anguished English by Richard Lederer



This book is subtitled "An Anthology of Accidental Assaults Upon the English Language. You've seen some of the stuff published here floating around the internet. If you like this sort of thing--silly mistakes from newspapers, magazines, speeches, student papers, etc--it was funny enough, but a lot of it I'd heard before. Still, there were enough that I hadn't heard to afford me a few good laughs. I was thinking somehow (from the cover probably) that this book would be a little more sophisticated than it was. It was a quick read, so it wasn't too much of a waste of time.... but I wouldn't read it (or anything like it) again.
