| book description |

Elster has selected 475 commonly mispronounced words, arranged them alphabetically and written an essay on how each word is spoken - and mis-spoken - on the airwaves, in the office, and on the street. The author has sifted through dictionaries and other sources, both historic and modern, in an attempt to arrive at an informed consensus on how English should be spoken.
