American Language

Summary: Entertaining and edifying!!
Review: Mencken provides a look at our impossible language withgreat flair, erudition, and with a liberal dollop of humor.Here is a spendid book that you can read systematically cover-to-cover or pick up and read in bits and pieces. It covers the development of our language both topically and historically.

This volume is absolutely indispensible for both the amateur logophile and the scholar of the English language. I recommend it very highly! It is incredible fun to read!
