This was my 41st book finished in 2024.
I really liked this book as a kid... No wonder I'm still interested in language and linguistics.
I have to say, I was a bit disappointed with the book as a whole. I liked the layout, but some sections seemed very small and honestly didn't give much information; a lot of jokes / comics / quotes, but not much substance behind them.
The "Politically Correct" section at the back has aged like milk - it's so cringe to read, pure boomer humour.
