In this edition of the bestselling Words Fail Me, Teresa Monachino rounds up and breaks down a variety of unruly words: words lacking in integrity, misleading words that do not mean what they say, words that mean more than they say, words with inconsistent pronunciation or spellings that are just plain cruel!
Why do noses run and feet smell?
Why is abbreviate such a long word?
Being blunt can result in a cutting remark. A verb is a noun, and monosyllabic has five syllables.
Using striking and witty graphic design, Teresa Monachino demands answers to the many complexities of the English language.
These graphic musings on the idiosyncrasies of the English language are a regular feature in Private Eye Magazine.
