WEEDS IN THE GARDEN OF WORDS KARTONIERT (TB)

If the English language is a glorious garden  filled with exotic hybrids and the continuing
tradition of heritage specimens  then it is no surprise that we will also find some weeds.
Linguistic weeds may have pronunciations we don't want or constructions that are out of place.
We may be trying to hold on to words and usage we should perhaps have said farewell to. But as
all gardeners know  what one gardener calls a 'weed'  another may call a 'flower'. The same
goes for words and their usage in English - sometimes we just haven't realized their virtues.
Kate Burridge follows the international success of her book Blooming English with another
entertaining excursion into the ever-changing nature of our complex and captivating language.
