"Getting to know you. Getting to know all about you" from “The King and I.”

Getting to know you. Getting to feel free and easy. When I am with you Getting to know what to say. - The King and I - Getting to Know You Lyrics | MetroLyrics Did you ever wonder how English became English? There is a plethora of books on word origins, some amusing, and some in-depth. But no other book quite as well targets how it got from there to here as Henry Hitchings' descriptions. Occasionally he appears to be wordy, but don't let this fool you. Everything he says leads to a point. And it's the reason you're reading this book. One book cannot hold everything. However, the author makes a good stab at it here. Just going through the bibliographies and indexes will take quite some time. I've read books on euphemisms and anachronisms and found them interesting. Yet I never realized how interesting just common words could be. Knowing a little bit of their origin, I do strive to say things like children instead of kids. And always wonder what happened to “kine”. In any event, will find a lot of information packed into a small book. You will wonder how you lived so long without knowing this information. This book is a keeper for your library, and you will want to reference it periodically. The next surprise is “Divided by A Common Language: A Guide to British and American English” by Christopher E. Davies, ISBN-13:9780618002757
