Abstract
William Safire´s On Language is the most entertaining study of how Americans use the English language — inventing words, changing pronunciations, and fumbling with half-understood phrases-since Jacque Barzun edited Wilson Follett´s Modern American Usage in 1974. (Safire admires Barzun´s opinions on English usage.)
