If the English language is a glorious garden, filled with exotic
hybrids and the continuing tradition of heritage specimens, then it
is no surprise that we will also find some weeds. Linguistic weeds
may have pronunciations we don't want or constructions that are out
of place. We may be trying to hold on to words and usage we should
perhaps have said farewell to. But as all gardeners know, what one
gardener calls a 'weed', another may call a 'flower'. The same goes
for words and their usage in English - sometimes we just haven't
realized their virtues. Kate Burridge follows the international
success of her book Blooming English with another entertaining
excursion into the ever-changing nature of our complex and
captivating language.
