Paperback. Condition: Good. A humorous guide to British English for Americans?idioms, slang, abbreviations and rhyming slang?from an American scholar who has lived in the UK for more than three decades.Back in 1887, Oscar Wilde wrote, ?We have really everything in common with America nowadays, except, of course, language.? One would think, in a world homogenized by technology and social media, that differences between British English and American English would gradually disappear. Ask any recent traveler, though, and you?ll learn that plenty of linguistic idiosyncrasies persist, and new ones emerge all the time.

Charming pen-and-ink illustrations by Mark Cowie add whimsy and humor to this entertaining, useful, and unique compendium. No American need ever be befuddled again. Cowie, Mark (illustrator). …
