Our Take
There are sure to be additions to the History House from this book. It will change the way you think about English and leave you quite amused. It contains edifying and entertaining chapters on everything from spelling to swearing. Not just a book of interesting trivia, though. We promise, it really will open your eyes to what a powerful, dynamic language English is, and how much it has changed over the centuries. There is much real history hidden in the multitudinous influences on our warped tongue. We, don't stress anymore when people misspells something or say 'supposably' - history is on their side. English -- do as you will! Read More at Amazon.com
