[Robyn · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is easy to read and understand. It has commonly mistaken words at the end which is interesting for word nerds like myself. The writer displays a healthy attitude toward change in the English language, explaining how it does this and why. This book is worth having in my personal library.
