Bill Bryson continues to be the king of books of knowledge that I will never use and may possibly forget. American English is pure doggerel compared to the other romantic languages but also the most versatile and ubiquitous.

I was not aware of how rude Noah Webster was when creating the dictionary and how many things were just flat out ignored when English eovlved. I shall now only be a fan of the Oxford English Dictionary.

Noticing some inaccuracies (the 90+ words for "snow" myth), but like it's still an entertaining read to take with a grain of salt. Perfect bed time book to "learn" something while probably forgetting it later on.
