In this wide-ranging collection of essays, best-selling language writer Richard Lederer offers readers more of the irrepressible word play his fans can't get enough of, along with his observations on a life in letters. From teaching English to Russian fifth graders to a zany dinner for punsters and from etymology to slang to dialect to fadspeak, these essays are learning and language dressed up to have fun, as only Dr. Lederer does it. He is the author of 60 books on language, history, and humor.
