Original. Review: Very funny, very helpful. - I bought one for myself and later bought this one as a gift for my sister-in-law. This book is very funny and is great entertainment for people who like language or literature. It is a perfect gift for someone who likes to speak well or even someone who speaks publicly alot like a teacher, professor, trainer, doctor, nurse, manager, pilot, principal, courier, taxi driver, etc. It's a great addition to anyone's library and would be perfect for home-schoolers. There have been many studies that show those who speak well are more successful in life. That means you need to have a great vocabulary and pronounce your great vocaulary correctly! If you want to get ahead, you have to speak well. This book is helpful in that respect. Review: Opinionated, But Accurate - I'm a stickler for accurate pronunciation. I cringe at mispronounced words, and I will (gently) correct those who are around me when something grates on my ear. I have found this book to be a great arbiter of what is and is not standard American pronunciation. If people don't believe me, I use this book to buttress my case. I respect the author's views so much that on the (rare) occasion when I am wrong, I will change my position. Obviously, not everyone will agree with the author and pronunciation and usage do gradually shift over time. That having been said, this is one of the easiest and most interesting of the many books on the subject to read. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,378,367 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #290 in Phonetics & Phonics Reference #1,703 in Dictionaries (Books) #45,488 in Schools & Teaching (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 61 Reviews | ## Images ![The Big Book Of Beastly Mispronunciations: The Complete Opinionated Guide for the Careful Speaker - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71BzPX2rZiL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very funny, very helpful. *by J***T on October 17, 2009* I bought one for myself and later bought this one as a gift for my sister-in-law.
