1.0 out of 5 stars
illiterate book,
By wle "wle" (atlanta ga) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Inventing English: Imaginative Origins of Everyday Expressions (Paperback)
my first clue that it was illiteratewas the fact that, on page 5, it has 'curiouser' misspelled [twice] as 'curioser'. supposed to be a quote from 'alice in wonderland'. also misspells 'malapropism' as 'malaproprism'. p 199. italics. plus about 90% of her words and phrases seem to either come from 'alice', shakespeare, or cartoon character quotes. give me a break. wle. |
