    Words Fail Me

    Description

    - A witty and amusing handbook to the contradictions and inconsistencies of the English language
    - With imaginative use of typography Words Fail Me highlights tricky words, inconsistent spellings, misleading pronunciation and other quirky characteristics of our mother tongue
    - Why is abbreviation such a long word? Does monosyllabic really need five syllables? Why is lisp so hard to say if you have one?
    - Did you know that the letters of Honestly can be rearranged to read on the SLY? A Funeral is also Real Fun and Santa can easily be turned into Satan?
    - Perfect for crossword lovers, wordsmiths, designers and anyone with a fascination for words
