Description

For years Richard Lederer has entertained fans of the English language with his keen insights, commonsense advice, and witty patter. Now Lederer and Richard Dowis take readers on another journey through our most wiggy of languages. How many times have we all heard the word viable used in company meetings? The authors show us how viable was at one time extracted from medical books, where it is actually defined as capable of living, and placed into our consumer marketplace. Then there is confusion between lay and lie, which the authors clear up once and for all. These and dozens of delightful examples make this book pure pleasure for language buffs, writers, and teachers.
