In Highly Irregular, Arika Okrent tells the story of the many influences - from invading French armies to stubborn Flemish printers - that made our language the way it is today. Both an entertaining send-up of linguistic oddities and a deeply researched history of English, Highly Irregular is essential for anyone who has paused to wonder about our marvelous mess of a language.

Fascinating book about the origins of the strange and unusual spelling, words, and phrases used in the English language. Brilliantly and interestingly written and read by the author.
