The Ultimate Joy Ride Through Our Language
In 'Crazy English', Richard Lederer demonstrates that logic is "conspicuously absent" from the "standard deviations" of our language, an "open secret" that is anything but "old news." In what other language, asks Lederer, do people drive on a parkway and park in a driveway, or play at a recital and recite a play? If the crazy randomness, inconsistent spelling, and logic-boggling structure of English prove the stuff on which Lederer's dreams are made, so does the evolving, accommodating capacity of the language.
Full of stories, poems, interviews, quizzes and other edifying challenges, 'Crazy English' is perfect laugh-out-loud entertainment.
