In Fractured English, bestselling author, Richard Lederer shares his collection of language gems, presented in his signature style-uncut, unpolished, and one hundred percent genuine. Fractured English is the only place you'll encounter this student's complaint: "I pass my testes. My grades should be hirer" or this headache of a headline: "Legislators Tax Brains to Cut Deficit." "Some people are bird-watchers. I watch word-botchers," declares the author as he expertly guides you through his world of loopy language. Enjoy more classic Ledrerer with Crazy English, a romp through the logic-boggling byways of our language, where you'll discover the names for phobias you didn't know you could have, the longest words in our dictionaries, and the shortest sentence containing every letter of our alphabet. You'll laugh as you learn that the English language is the only language in which you drive in a parkway and park in a driveway, and your nose can run and your feet can smell! Crazy English is perfect laugh-out-loud entertainment, guaranteed to keep you figuratively glued to your seat while you fall heels over head in love with our lunatic language.
