"Richard Lederer is the true king of language comedy.
Anguished English is the funniest book I have ever read." -Sidney
Sheldon Anguished English is filled with accidental misuses of
language that will delight and entertain you. This book has all the
student bloopers, dangling modifiers, misread headlines, and
malapropisms imaginable. It''s a must-have for word lovers
everywhere. Advertisement: "Dog for sale. Eats anything and is fond
of children." In a lawsuit: "Doctor, how many autopsies have you
performed on dead people?" "All my autopsies are on dead people."
On a Hong Kong tailor shop: "Ladies may have a fit upstairs."
Describing an accident: "In an attempt to kill a fly, I drove into
a telephone pole." From student essays to newspaper headlines, here
is a fabulous collection of linguistic goofs and mixed-up metaphors
that have done everything from rewriting history to announcing the
ability of a soft drink to resurrect the dead! Dell.

One of the fringe benefits of being an English or history
teacher is receiving the occasional jewel of a student blooper in
an essay or test paper.
