Synopsis

For anyone who has ever had a question about the English language, this book will prove a delight. Based on letters to the Oxford Word and Language Service, it deals with hundreds of notes and queries from the everyday to the bizarre, including sections on `What is the origin of...?', `Is this correct?', `What does this mean?' and `Is there a word for...?'. Bringing English to life with its enjoyable and often irreverent style, Questions of English is a joy for any lover of the language, and an indispensable source of fun language information for teachers. Includes: Interesting words: triskaidekaphobia (fear of the number 13), apocolocyntosis (turning into a pumpkin) Unusual terms: (an exaggeration of anglers, an ambush of widows) This book is intended for an important reference or browsing book for anyone interested in the language; also an ideal English book for teachers.
