Our use of language naturally evolves and is a living breathing thing that reflects who we are. Says Who? offers clear, nuanced guidance that goes beyond “right” and “wrong” to empower us to make informed language choices. Never snooty or scoldy (yes, that’s a “real” word!), this book explains where the grammar rules we learned in school actually come from and reveals the forces that drive dictionary editors to label certain words as slang or unacceptable.

Clever, funny, and informative. For anyone who loves grammar, history, languages and culture. It’s incredible how the language we speak is influenced by our values as a society and can include or exclude people. Worth the listen!
