The people at OUP blog have written in, having noticed the furor on our own boards about most-hated-phrases, and note their own post, which explains that there’s more to the book than a list of hated phrases, and offers a quiz on the evolution of certain well-known sayings.
Those of you who are, like me, blog-o-holics, will no doubt have seen some of the coverage for our book Damp Squid, by Jeremy Butterfield. The blogs picked up on the 10 most annoying words and phrases in the English language, but that’s not all that’s in the book. Jeremy Butterfield also examines phrases that have been slightly distorted over the years, so that what we say is often not what was originally meant.
