Ken Smith came to one of our first Word Nerds meetings! My husband and I actually have two signed copies.

- from the jacket: "With hundreds of examples pulled from everyday life, Junk English shows how our language is becoming so pliable and flabby that the more we read and hear, the less we actually know...from the mindless jargon, euphemisms and 'weasel words', to empty rhetoric such as 'quality of life'.."
- wonderfully fun - for a word-lover such as myself
- easily digested in bite-sized chunks (I read it over a few weeks, a few pages at a time.)
