Description

"A literate exploration of why we use -- or mangle -- our native tongue." -- USA Today

Bill Bryson celebrates America's magnificent offspring in the book that reveals once and for all how a dusty western hamlet with neither woods nor holly came to be known as Hollywood... and exactly why Mr. Yankee Doodle call his befeathered cap "Macaroni."
