A revised edition of David Crystal's classic guide surveying some of the more amusing controversies within the English language. Written with much common sense, a sharp eye and keen wit, WHO CARES ABOUT ENGLISH USAGE will equip any reader with the skills and sensitivity to use language as a powerful tool - rather than being thwarted by its many idiosyncracies.
