Anguished English: An Anthology of Accidental Assualts Upon Our Language Mass market paperbound - 1989
by Richard Lederer
From student essays to newspaper headlines, here is a fabulous collection of linguistic goofs and mixed-up metaphors that have done everything from rewriting history to announcing the ability of a soft drink to resurrect the dead! Dell.
First line
One of the fringe benefits of being an English or history teacher is receiving the occasional jewel of a student blooper in an essay or test paper.
From the jacket flap
"Anguished English is the impossibly funny anthology of accidental assaults upon our language. From bloopers and blunders to Signs of the Times to Mixed Up Metaphors...from Two-Headed Headlines to Mangling Modifiers, here is an outrageous treasury of assaults upon our common language that will leave you roaring with delight and laughter.
