Description
For anyone who has ever had a question about the English language, this book should prove amusing. Based on letters to the "Oxford Word and Language Service", it deals with hundreds of notes and queries from the everyday to the bizarre, including sections on "What is the origin of ...?", "Is this correct?", "What does this mean?" and "Is there a word for ...?".
