Download or read book All About Spoonerisms written by Tom Wagner and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2023-02-15 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During my many years of traveling all around This Great America, I would rent a car to visit potential building sites, meeting with all the relevant necessary parties needed for a potential business location and doing so see interesting signage. My job often allowed me a travelling companion either from the company or a local form the area to show me around the town. We would laugh as I read signs all using "Spoonerisms". This became a hobby that made the drives more enjoyably spent laughing. I wrote sign messages on scraps of paper collecting them in my travel case. Adding year after year to my Spoonerism collection. This is a small book to carry in the glove box, etc, for the family to read and laugh during a car, train, or plane trip. This has been my dream.
Download or read book Um written by Michael Erard and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2007-08-21 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essential reading for talkers and listeners of all stripes: An original, entertaining, and surprising book that investigates verbal blunders: what they are, what they say about those who make them, and how and why we've come to judge them. “An enjoyable tour of linguistic mishaps.” —The New York Times Book Review Um... is about how you really speak, and why it's normal for your everyday speech to be filled with errors—about one in every ten words. In this charming, engaging account of language in the wild, linguist and writer Michael Erard also explains why our attention to some blunders rises and falls. Where did the Freudian slip come from? Why do we prize "umlessness" in speaking—and should we? And how do we explain the American presidents who are famous for their verbal stumbles?

Download or read book Words Words Words written by David Crystal and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2007 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Words, Words, Words is all about the wonder of words. Drawing on a lifetime's experience, David Crystal explores language in all its rich varieties through words: the very building blocks of our communication. Language has no life of its own: it only exists in the mouths and ears, hands, eyes and brains of its users. As we are guided expertly and passionately through the mysteries and delights of word origins, histories, spellings, regional and social variations, taboo words, jargon, and wordplay, the contribution we all play in shaping the linguistic world around us becomes evident. Words, Words, Words is a celebration of what we say and how we say it. It invites us to engage linguistically with who we are: to understand what words tell us about where we come from and what we do. And as they continually shape our lives, it suggests ways that we can look at words anew and get involved with collecting and coining words ourselves.

Book excerpt: Dawn Dixon can hardly believe she's on a groomless honeymoon on beautiful Cape Cod . . . with her mother. Sure, Marnie Dixon is good company, but Dawn was supposed to be here with Kevin, the love of her life (or so she thought). Marnie Dixon needs some time away from the absolute realness of life as much as her jilted daughter does, and she's not about to let her only child suffer alone--even if Marnie herself had been doing precisely that for the past month. Given the circumstances, maybe it was inevitable that Marnie would do something as rash as buy a run-down ice-cream shop in the town's tightly regulated historic district. After all, everything's better with ice cream. Her exasperated daughter knows that she's the one who will have to clean up this mess. Even when her mother's impulsive real estate purchase brings Kevin back into her life, Dawn doesn't get her hopes up. Everyone knows that broken romances stay broken . . . don't they? Welcome to a summer of sweet surprises on Cape Cod--a place where dreams just might come true.
