'Stuffed with entertaining detail ... Horrible Words is lively,
provocative, witty and enlightening' The Times Nothing inflames the
language purists like an illogical irregardless or a hideous
otherization. But is it enough simply to dismiss these words as

through our linguistic badlands, Rebecca Gowers finds answers that

erudite, informative and fun ... a call on all English-speakers to

inventiveness and to do battle against the pedants who tell them
they are wrong' Michael Skapinker, Financial Times 'A very useful
book, packed with good historical sense' Lynne Truss, The Times
