I read this book out of a masochistic curiosity and nearly died laughing (through tears). "Assaults Upon Our Language" is a matching title for it because that's exactly what it is, from student papers to misprints in newspaper articles. Hilarious!

Hilarious! You'll especially love the section on other countries if you've ever taught ESL or traveled abroad and seen mutilated English.

Incredibly funny!!! Worth every moment of reading. You will learn so much about our language and how terrible our education system is.
