"If this book doesn't make you angry, it wasn't worth writing. It attacks no use of language. It defends all the words and phrases and sentences you have been trying to stamp out..."

This irreverent and often hilarious book, designed for the nonspecialist. It examines the modern American usage and its many celebrity commentators- Edwin Newman, John Simon, William Safire, et al. He demonstartes that authoritarian pronouncements- the sacred rules of writing and speaking English regularly hurled at us from countless books, teachers, and magazine columns- are based more often on foolishness, ignorance, and superstition than on past or current usage.
