Эта книга – об "ошибкоопасных" областях русского языка. Мы каждый день встречаемся с непростыми в употреблении словами – надевая сапоги, кроссовки или кеды, укладывая в чемоданы пары носков, чулок и джинсы, отправляясь в отпуск за границу или за город.

Мы освоим самолеты, пароходы и паровозы, побываем в тридевятом царстве, тридесятом государстве, где нас ждет царь-государь, заглянем даже в шпаргалки и всерьез задумаемся, есть ли хвосты у прохвостов и прихвостней.
