For years Richard Lederer has entertained fans of the English
language with his keen insights, commonsense advice, and witty
patter. Now Lederer and Richard Dowis take readers on another
journey through our most "wiggy" of languages. How many times have
we all heard the word "viable" used in company meetings? The
authors show us how "viable" was at one time extracted from medical
books, where it is actually defined as "capable of living," and
placed into our consumer marketplace. Then there is confusion
between "lay" and "lie," which the authors clear up once and for
all. These and dozens fo delightful examples make this book pure
pleasure for language buffs, writers, and teachers.
