From Kate Burridge -ABC regular and professor of linguisitics at Monash University - comes this witty and eclectic collection of observations and information about English and its peculiarities. Based on pieces that she has written for ABC Radio's SOUTHBANK and ABC Television's CAN WE HELP?, the book covers everything from 'slanguage' and pronunciation to the mysteries of English spelling, punctuation and grammar.
