A short book on the english language and the funny ways we abuse it. Some of the humor was familar -- probably made the rounds of the internet -- but other were new. Light enjoyable read.

Richard Lederer now has a radio program out of San Diego about language and words. He's been at it forever, and tells very funny stories about misused words.
