A kinder, funner usage guide to the ever-changing English language and a useful tool for both the grammar stickler and the more colloquial user of English.

What The Reviewers Say

Michael Dirda,
The Washington Post
In her own prose, Curzan tries hard to downplay any soupçon of the didactic by adopting an up-to-date, friendly cheeriness. For my taste, she goes too far.
Mark Knoblauch,
Booklist
Curzan lays forth her incomparable erudition with deft lightheartedness that will appeal to wordies at all levels..

Kirkus
As a guide through the labyrinth of language, Curzan provides a road map that makes for an enjoyable, informative journey..

Publishers Weekly
Chock-full of fascinating trivia and persuasively argued, this will give grammar sticklers pause..
