Literally, the Best Language Book Ever: Annoying Words and Abused Phrases You Should Never Use Again Paperback - 2008
by Paul Yeager
By turns gleefully precise and happily contrarian, Yeager attacks with a linguistic scalpel the illogical expressions that are so commonplace in everyday conversation.
Summary
By turns gleefully precise and happily contrarian, this is a highly opinionated guide to better communication. In Literally, the Best Language Book Ever, author Paul Yeager attacks with a linguistic scalpel the illogical expressions and misappropriated meanings that are so commonplace and annoying. Identifying hundreds of common language miscues, Yeager provides an astute look at the world of words and how we abuse them every day.
For the grammar snobs looking for any port in a storm of subpar syntax, or the self-confessed rubes seeking a helping hand, this witty guide can transform even the least literate into the epitome of eloquence.
