Hoes van Macintyre Ben Macintyre: Last Word (ePUB)

‘A sprinkling of delightful nuggets about the uses and abuses of the English Language’ Daily Telegraph, Books of the Year'[There are] myriad delights in Ben Macintyre’s musings on language’ The Times, Books of the Year_____________________Do you know your geek-speak from your geek-chic? Ever wanted to put Humpty Dumpty together again? Can you distinguish Spanglish from Chinglish? We adapt words from other languages, from slang, from developments in science, literature and art. Learn the advantages of having your own signature word; why the lifts in the House of Commons have posh accents; and discover the discreet art of the loophemism. Witty and utterly delightful, The Last Word will tease, tickle and tantalise those who enjoy all things lexical.
