An extremely enjoyable book. David Crystal is a passionate champion of the English language. He introduces reader with the Wordworld. He helps readers to understand how words evolve? Where do the words come from?
While reading I was astound with the number of words we know and actually how many of them we use.
The final section gives practical advice on how we can explore this world more fully ourselves and learn the skills.
Highly recommended to all the language enthusiast.
