Product Description
The English language has evolved throughout its history, and usually for good reasons. However, in recent years, egged on by social media and the ubiquity and velocity of the internet, it has been subject to some grave assaults. There appear no longer to be any rules, in an era when, thanks to the web (another word to have changed its meaning) everyone can be a published author, completely unedited and unregulated. This often has dire consequences for the English tongue. Trenchant and sprinkled with dry wit, 'Scarcely English' is both a chamber of horrors of bad and lazy English and a plea for accuracy, clear thinking and elegance.
