Pedantic about punctuation or scrupulous about spelling? You'll
love this hilarious and definitive guide to 21st century language
from grammar-guru Gyles Brandreth. 'Brilliant, clear, entertaining,
very funny and often outright silly. Brandreth excels . . . in all
his linguistic joie de vivre' Guardian __________ Why, like, does
everyone keep saying 'like'? Why do apostrophe's keep turning up in
the wrong place? Why do we get confused when using foreign phrases
- and vice versa? Is it 'may be' or 'maybe'? Should it be 'past' or
'passed'? Is it 'referenda' or 'referendums'? FFS, what's happening
to our language!? Our language is changing, literacy levels are
dwindling and our grasp of grammar is at crisis point, so you
wouldn't be alone in thinking WTF! But do not despair, Have You
Eaten Grandma? is here: Gyles Brandreth's definitive (and
hilarious) guide to punctuation, spelling, and good English for the
twenty-first century. Without hesitation or repetition (and just a
touch of deviation) Gyles, the Just A Minute regular and
self-confessed grammar guru, skewers the linguistic horrors of our
time, tells us where we've been going wrong (and why), and reveals
his tips and tricks to ensure that, in future, we make fewer
(rather than 'less') mistakes. End of. (Is 'End of' alright? Is
'alright' all right? You'll find out right here . . . ) 'Best thing
ever, laugh-a-lot, spanning everything. Great book, I'm loving
this' Chris Evans, BBC Radio 2
