Additional Book Description
Richard Lederer has been called Attila the Pun, Conan the Grammarian, and the Viceroy of Verbivores. In "The Revenge of Anguished English," this "Abbot of Absurdity" (as "People" magazine has dubbed him) leaves us limp with laughter at how the innocent, the negligent, and the pompous mangle the English language. True to the code of this super-duper blooper snooper, all the fluffs and flubs, goofs and gaffes, and blunders, botches, boo-boos, and bloopers are genuine, authentic, certified, and unretouched. Nothing has been made up
