The book is a very thorough look-through of the English language and how it has developed. It covers everything from why “one” is pronounced “won” and not ‘owe-ne’ or why we have the swear words we do. It even explains why there is overwhelmed, underwhelmed but no whelmed. He is a hysterical author with a unique look on the common day occurrences and fun to read.
I really enjoyed this book, too. It was really interesting to find out how certain quirks in our language came to be.
