Download or read book The Unabridged Devil's Dictionary written by Ambrose Bierce and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2010-09-15 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If we could only put aside our civil pose and say what we really thought, the world would be a lot like the one alluded to in The Unabridged Devil’s Dictionary. There, a bore is "a person who talks when you wish him to listen," and happiness is "an agreeable sensation arising from contemplating the misery of another." This is the most comprehensive, authoritative edition ever of Ambrose Bierce’s satiric masterpiece. It renders obsolete all other versions that have appeared in the book’s ninety-year history. A virtual onslaught of acerbic, confrontational wordplay, The Unabridged Devil’s Dictionary offers some 1,600 wickedly clever definitions to the vocabulary of everyday life. Little is sacred and few are safe, for Bierce targets just about any pursuit, from matrimony to immortality, that allows our willful failings and excesses to shine forth. This new edition is based on David E. Schultz and S. T. Joshi’s exhaustive investigation into the book’s writing and publishing history. All of Bierce’s known satiric definitions are here, including previously uncollected, unpublished, and alternative entries. Definitions dropped from previous editions have been restored while nearly two hundred wrongly attributed to Bierce have been excised. For dedicated Bierce readers, an introduction and notes are also included. Ambrose Bierce’s Devil’s Dictionary is a classic that stands alongside the best work of satirists such as Twain, Mencken, and Thurber. This unabridged edition will be celebrated by humor fans and word lovers everywhere.

This book was released on 2016-03-10 with total page 688 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fowler's Concise Dictionary of Modern English Usage is an invaluable reference work that offers the best advice on English usage. Known in previous editions as the 'Pocket Fowler', this third edition is a descendant of the original 1926 edition of A Dictionary of Modern English Usage by Henry Fowler. Based on the unrivalled evidence and research of the Oxford Languages Programme, the new edition answers your most frequently asked questions about language use. Should you use a split infinitive, or a preposition at the end of a sentence? Is it infer or imply? Who or whom? What are the main differences between British and American English? Over 4,000 entries offer clear recommendations on issues of grammar, pronunciation, spelling, confusable words, and written style. Real examples are drawn from OUP's vast database of classic and contemporary literary sources, newspapers and magazines, and the Internet.

Download or read book The Big Book of Beastly Mispronunciations written by Charles Harrington Elster and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2006 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive pronouncement on more than 1,500 of our most commonly mispronounced words. From the language maven Charles Harrington Elster comes an authoritative and unapologetically opinionated look at American speech. As Elster points out, there is no sewer in connoisseur, no dip in diphthong, and no pronoun in pronunciation. The culmination of twenty years of observation and study, The Big Book of Beastly Mispronunciations is more than just a pronunciation guide. Elster discusses past and present usage, alternatives, analogies, and tendencies and offers plenty of advice, none of it objective. Whether you are adamant or ambivalent about the spoken word, Elster arms you with the information you need to decide what is acceptable for you. The Big Book of Beastly Mispronunciations has now been expanded and revised and features nearly 200 new words, including: al-Qaeda bruschetta commensurate coup de grace curriculum vita exacerbate gigabyte hara-kiri machismo Muslim Niger Pinochet Pulitzer sorbet tinnitus w (as in www-dot) and many, many more. Charles Harrington Elster is the pronunciation editor of Black's Law Dictionary and the author of various books about language, including Verbal Advantage, There's a Word for It, and What in the Word? He has been a guest columnist on language for the Boston Globe and the New York Times Magazine and a commentator on NPR and hundreds of radio shows around the country.

The three main subjects looked at are: language at large, and particulary English, the most widely used language in the history of the world; the art and study of dictionaries and reference science, embracing all past, present and potential reference materials - from the "OED" to the "Yellow Pages"; and the processes through which communication, information and knowledge has evoloved - from cave art to the personal computer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: JOKES! SATIRE! You want to laugh, and a Faustian bargain awaits you within these pages! Example: Q. "What do you call a guy who makes pipe bombs in his basement?" A. Lefty... Magic. Power! Wouldn't it be great? No one told you be careful what you wish for? This book is a sort of telephone directory to the infernal realms. It's a dictionary of code words for inter-dimensional diplomatic missions which seek to prevent, resolve, and triumph in spiritual and temporal war. It includes a few of the easier to reach infernal entities and explains whom you might contact and how. More importantly, it explains ways to dismiss, abjure, and disperse your unwanted house guests "from the Nether lands...". A cynical satirical look at politics, diplomacy, war and peace, and spiritual conflicts behind temporal conflict, Lucifer's Legal Lexicon is a darker book for darker times. Most people believe it is difficult to "someone dumons". Summoning demons is comparatively easy. Getting rid of them isn't. You're here because you want to play with fire and brimstone, all while having a good laugh at this blackened burnt sad world. Someone unleashed a problem from hell. Someone is learning that all the king's horses and all the king's men, couldn't put Humpty together again. After all, what's a little infernal necromancy between frenemies hm? About the author: A trappist monk living in exile or a hermitage. He has the power to see through time, to turn invisble, to project his soul into astral planes, and of course certain mantras we don't dare admit knowing let alone using. Alternatively, just a polyglot itinerant scholar with a wicked sense of humour. Take your pick and place your bets!Remember to learn more: https: //amazon.com/author/quizmaster
