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.

A fun and informative read. On par with Dreyer's English but far from a repeat of his work. Would love to have her over for dinner - she is authoritative, warm, and entertaining. I look forward to a relisten.
