| Description: |
In this brilliantly funny tirade and guide, Gyles Brandreth anatomizes the linguistic horrors of our times, tells us where we''ve been going wrong (and why) and shows us how, in future, we can get it right every time. Is '' alright'' all right? You''ll find out right here. From dangling clauses to gerunds, you''ll also discover why Santa''s helpers are subordinate clauses. In this book, he waxes lyrical about the importance of language as, after all, it is what we use to define ourselves and, ultimately, is what makes us human. |
