SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
For those interested in euphemisms, metaphors or modegreens, or autoantonyms, this is a tantalizing taste of the lighter side of English. Learn the origins of common words and the changes made over centuries. Figure out why spelling and pronunciation don't always match up, and see how silly came to have seven different meanings! Stroll through the vast landscape of English, wander down its illogical, peculiar and idiosyncratic byways, and enjoy a hugely entertaining treat!
