Title: The dictionary of disagreeable English
First published: October 22, 2004
Description: "This comprehensive dictionary of common misusages lays bare the mistakes we all make every day. Robert Hartwell Fiske, the grumbling grammarian of our time, shows you the definitive right way and wrong way to use language - and illustrates why dictionaries don't always provide the correct meaning or usage of a word." "Eliminate laxity in language today by learning from this witty and engaging reference that not only provides you with correct usages, but also explains the worst malaproprian sins of public figures and major publications."--Jacket.
