Book Reviews of Made in America: An Informal History of the English Language in the United States

Book Review: A Correction
Summary: 5 Stars

The book is an excellent read. However, it's Idiotville, Oregon, not Idiotsville. It's a ghost town in the hills near Tillamook.(pronounced-till-uh-muck) by Oregonians. Just thought I throw that in.
