Perhaps the first truly important book about the divergence of American English from its British roots this survey of the language as it was spoken-and as it was changing-at the beginning of the 20th century comes via one of its most inveterate watchers journalist critic and editor HENRY LOUIS MENCKEN (1880-1956). In this replica of the 1921 revised and enlarged second edition Mencken turns his keen ear on: - the general character of American English - loan-words and non-English influences - expletives and forbidden words - American slang - the future of the language - and much much more. Anyone fascinated by words will find this a thoroughly enthralling look at the most changeable language on the face of the planet.
