Více o knize

Exploring the decline of the English language, Ken Smith employs sharp wit to highlight the misuse and manipulation of words that lead to cultural misunderstandings. Through concise sections like "Butt-Covering" and "Touchy-Feely Therapy Talk," he critiques the pervasive use of euphemisms and jargon across society, from advertising to everyday conversations. Alongside his critique, Smith offers practical advice for avoiding lazy language, suggesting a pathway toward clearer communication and a brighter linguistic future.
