Nothing inflames the language gripers like a misplaced
disinterested, an illogical irregardless, a hideous operationalisation. To
purists these are 'howlers' and 'non-words', fit only for scorn. But in their
rush to condemn such terms, are the naysayers missing something?
In this provocative and hugely entertaining book, Rebecca
Gowers throws light on a great array of horrible words, and shows how the
diktats of the pedants are repeatedly based on misinformation, false reasoning
and straight-up snobbery.
The result is a brilliant work of history, a surreptitious
introduction to linguistics, and a mischievous salute to the misusers of the
language. It is also a bold manifesto asserting our common rights over English,
even as it questions the true nature of style.
