About this product
Product Information
In this quirky new title designer and typographer Teresa Monachino rounds up and breaks down a variety of unruly words: words lacking in integrity, misleading words that do not mean what they say, words that mean more than they say, words with inconsistent pronunciation or spellings that are just plain cruel! Using striking and witty graphic design the author demands answers to such troublesome questions as, why is abbreviation such a long word, does monosyllabic really need five syllables and why is lisp so hard to say if you have one?Product Identifiers

Excellent Little Book.
There is now an updated edition to this book, but since it only adds a new short section at the back plus one or two new pages, this original is fine. Indeed, it includes one or two items not carried forward to the new version. It's brief, funny, clever and good for older children as well as adults in its observations of the absurdities of the English language. Recommended!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
