"A little master frizzled, perfumed and covered of gold, had leaded to the church, for to marry, a coquethish to the dye glistening the parson, having considered a minute that disfigured couple, told him: 'Now before to pronounce the conjungo, let avow me for fear of quiproquo, which from both is the bride?'"

English as she is spoke was a Christmas present to me from Taylor in 2001.
I think it should be required reading for any student beginning Latin or Greek as a negative exemplum for style of translation.
The book is hilarious!

I reluctantly list this as nonfiction though it reads like a parody. A very odd book about "manglish" brought back from olden times by the fine folks at Collins Library.

The ultimate epic fail in literary form. I've done spit takes while reading it, it has amused me that much. Go buy it now!
