The "impossible to put down" compendium of linguistic bloopers and blunders: a hilarious collection of malapropisms, mixed metaphors and more ( San Francisco Chronicle). In Anguished English, Richard Lederer collects some of the worst—and funniest—English language errors ever committed to print. From legendary student screwups to horrible headlines and cringe-worthy advertising copy, Lederer shares a treasure trove of laugh-out-loud flubs and gaffes worthy of a Pullet Surprise. "Hilarious."— Chicago Tribune "Richard Lederer is the true king of language comedy. Anguished English is the funniest book I have ever read."—Sidney Sheldon
