English Language Lovers

- Smiling while Fine-tuning

Bag om English Language Lovers

In our globalised and digitalised world, English has become necessary. It's simply complex, which makes us keep learning. It is impossible to master all its intricacies in a lifetime; even native speakers are challenged with the daily arrival of new jargon, slang, and formal words and phrases. This book has words of thoughts, thoughts on words, and words to laugh at that will make you a better conversant in English. Anaphoras, aphorisms, euphemisms, epistrophes, false friends, jargon, metaphors, etcetera are explained with illustrations and photographs. Reading it is a fun way to maintain your appetite for the English language. The late US author H. Jackson Jr said, "Never make fun of someone who speaks broken English. It means they know another language". That's certainly how I feel. Bilingual and multilingual people are flexible, creative, and open-minded. They make me think and smile, such as this statement from an acquaintance: "Look at the round and red thing in my bras". (The French word "bras" is "arm" in English).
