Gervase Phinn has written another thoroughly readable book, full of two of his favourite things, words and phrases. English as a language is tricky, confusing, easy to get wrong, hard to understand, impossible to spell at times but never the less, it is spoken by over a billion people. Here we read about the funny ways we all get it wrong at times, whether that's by mistakes in our spelling, our pronunciation, our punctuation or our choice of words and phrases. I laughed out loud at times and will be re-reading this just as soon as I get my own copy, it's a terrific book! ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
English can be such a beautiful language when used properly. However, sometimes what we say and write can lead to a great deal of misunderstanding and unintentional humour, as bestselling author and former school inspector Gervase Phinn shows in his book 'Gervase Phinn's Mangled English'. This humorous anthology of the English language includes book requests and book titles; people's names; proverbs; spoonerisms; classroom howlers; malapropisms and euphemisms; newspaper misprints; and epitaphs.
