What is the difference between cant and jargon, or assume and presume? What is a fandango? What's the new name for Calcutta? How do you spell supersede? Boutros Boutros-Ghali? Is it hippy or hippie? These questions really matter to Bill Bryson, ever since his days as a rookie subeditor on

back in the 1970s: as they do to anyone who cares about the English language. This has now been completely revised and updated for the twenty-first century by Bill Bryson himself.Here is a very personal selection of spellings and usages, covering such head-scratchers as capitalisation, plurals, abbreviations and foreign names and phrases. Bryson also gives us the difference between British and American usages, and miscellaneous pieces of essential information you never knew you needed, like the names of all the Oxford colleges, or the correct spelling of Brobdingnag.
