More about the book

The book critiques the evolution of the English language, particularly highlighting the negative impact of social media and the internet on linguistic standards. It addresses common confusions and unidiomatic expressions, as well as the rise of neologisms and lazy language habits. The author expresses dismay over the deterioration of grammatical accuracy and clarity, advocating for a return to precise and elegant communication. With a blend of humor and sharp observation, it serves as both a warning and a call to uphold the integrity of the English language.
