Synopsis

This is a compendium of largely original material gathered over a lifetime of snapping up unconsidered trifles, including typos, headlines, odd business names, book titles, spellchecking blunders, howlers, and much more besides. In this second edition, there are new chapters and added material throughout. All the royalties from this new edition are being donated to a very worthy cause, the Perth (Scotland) Branch of Guide Dogs. The centrepiece of the book is a chapter ‘Mr Malaprop - a man of his word’ - the secretly collected mis-speakings of a former colleague, one of which forms the book’s title. She smokes like a fish places all these blunders into categories, explores the various kinds of error, warns of the perils of the computerised spellchecker and generally takes a delight in our ability to think one thing and say or write another.
