Most of what you were taught about language in school is wrong, and what’s right mostly isn’t right for the reasons you thought.
I’ve been giving presentations about the deeper details of this fact for nearly two decades. Up to now, you had to either be there in the room when I gave the presentation, or watch the video of it on my blog, or in just a couple of cases read the text of it on my blog. Now I’ve brought together eight of my best presentations about the English language’s history, grammar, and more, revised and in a format suitable for consuming at leisure in the environment of your choice. Presenting my new book, The Truth About English: Lessons You Never Got in School. It includes:
- A Language in Motion
- When Does Wrong Become Right?
- When to Use Bad English
- Smash All teh Rulez
- What Flavour of English Do You Want?
- Sounding Like the “Right Sort”
- The Secret Set of Extra-Tasty Words
- A Hidden Gender?
It’s available now on Lulu.com: https://www.lulu.com/shop/james-harbeck/the-truth-about-english/paperback/product-57ggk44.html?page=1&pageSize=4
It will also be available soon on Amazon.com. However, Amazon takes a big cut of the price. In fact, I could set the price lower if it weren’t on Amazon, but I can’t have a lower price on Lulu than on Amazon (alas), and it’s worth it for visibility to have it on Amazon. But I will have copies for sale in person at a discount if you happen to see me at a conference or similar event… along with copies of my other books such as 12 Gifts for Writers.

It’s coming… I’ll make an announcement when it’s available.
Good, thanks.
(I came here to ask the same)
You won’t find any linguists in the grammar police 🙂 And in almost every indignant letter to the editor about bad usage, there is a “mistake”. Keep up the good work.
