MORE ANGUISHED ENGLISH - An Expose of Embarrassing, Excruciating, and Egregious Errors in English,This book as the title itself suggests is for all those people who enjoy laughing and sniggering at the bloopers and howlers that are committed by people while speaking or writing the English language.
No slip is more showing than a slip of the pen or a slip of the tongue and this forms the main content of this book..An unidentified job- seeker wrote on her application form " I have an obsession for detail. I like to make sure i cross my i's and dot my t's"
According to best selling author Sidney Sheldon Anguished English and More Anguished English are the two funniest books she has ever read.
The Contents of this book covers a range of mispronounciations and misinterpretations committed by people belonging to different genres of life.
The book starts off with Classroom Classics consisting of kids writing the darnedest things, unscientific english, In the mist of choosing colleges and Adulteration.
These are some of the definions written by children in their school tests.
Defintion of a Molecule: A molecule is so small that it can't be seen by the naked observer or another funny howler is the definiton of marriage: A bond between two people to make their children literate . An Opera is a song of a bigly size. Migration according to another child ia a headache that birds get when they fly south for the winter and an Octopus is an eye doctor.
The book also points out the blunders committed in Newspaper headlines, church bulletins, medical Reports and magazines in its section titled Misadventures in Blunderland and stop the presses. ( For example in a sunday School : A Christian can have only one wife. This is called Monotony. A medical Report : The Patient left the hospital feeling much better except for her original complaints.The Patient has no past history of suicides)
The sections titled The Tower of Babble and Thud and Blunder speaks of the blunders committed by second- language English speakers by whom English is widely misspoken and miswritten. ( For example. sign in a Tel Aviv hotel room : If you wish for breakfast, lift the telephone and our waitress will arrive. This will be enough to bring your food up. and in a Cairo Bar : Unaccompanied ladies not allowed unless with husband or similar.)
This book can be enjoyed by anybody and the illustrations and anecdotes can be relevantly used by a Public Speaker to make his/her speeches and lectures much more humourous.
