このコンテンツについて
The “impossible to put down” compendium of linguistic bloopers and blunders; a hilarious collection of malapropisms, mixed metaphors and more (San Francisco Chronicle).
Anguished English is the impossibly funny anthology of accidental assaults upon our common language. Author, Richard Lederer, collects some of the worst—and funniest—English language errors ever committed to print. From legendary student screwups to horrible headlines and cringe-worthy advertising copy, Lederer shares a treasure trove of laugh-out-loud flubs and gaffes worthy of a Pullet Surprise.
Laugh out loud to the bloopers and blunders, Signs of the Times, Mixed Up Metaphors, and Two-Headed Headlines and Mangling Modifiers. It is an outrageous collection that will leave you roaring with delight and laughter.
Help wanteds:
Wanted: Unmarried girls to pick fresh fruit and produce at night.
Two-Headed Headlines:
Grandmother of eight makes hole in one!
Doctor testifies in horse suit.
Modern-Day Malapropisms:
I suffer from a deviant septum.
“Richard Lederer is the true king of language comedy. Anguished English is the funniest book I have ever read.”
“Hilarious.”—Chicago Tribune
