Book Reviews of The Lexicon of Stupidity
Book Review: English as she is mis-spoken
Summary: 5 Stars
Great categorized compilation of language mis-uses, malaprops, faux pas, overstatements of the obvious, and complete brain-fades quoted from a wide variety of sources. You realize most speakers don't actually listen to what they're saying.
Very entertaining.
