The King's English Kingsley Amis

"The King"s English" is Kingsley Amis"s authoritative and witty guide to the use and abuse of the English language. A scourge of illiteracy and a thorn in the side of pretension, Amis provides indispensable advice about the linguistic blunders and barbarities that lie in wait for us, from danglers, four-letter words to jargon and even Welsh rarebit. If you have ever wondered whether it"s acceptable to start a sentence with "and", to boldly split an infinitive, or to cross your sevens in the French style, Amis has the answer - or a trenchant opinion. By turns reflective, acerbic and provocative, "The King"s English" is for anyone who cares about how the English language is used. With a new introduction by Kingsley Amis"s son, the novelist Martin Amis. Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге The King's English (Kingsley Amis)
