Product Description
A fascinating exploration of English, its origins, dialects, accents, and place-names. Trudgill asks questions such as: why did 'passengers' become 'customers'? What is the origin of the word 'but'? How should we reply when told not to end a sentence with a preposition? ('Why not?').
