Synopsis
From student essays to newspaper headlines, here is a fabulous collection of linguistic goofs and mixed-up metaphors that have done everything from rewriting history to announcing the ability of a soft drink to resurrect the dead! Dell.

From the Publisher
Anguished English is the impossibly funny anthology of accidental assaults upon our language. From bloopers and blunders to Signs of the Times to Mixed Up Metaphors...from Two-Headed Headlines to Mangling Modifiers, here is an outrageous treasury of assaults upon our common language that will leave you roaring with delight and laughter.

The author, Richard Lederer:
A wide-ranging anthology of rib-tickling bloopers.
Little did I know when I put together this collection that it would become one of the best-selling language humor in American publishing. I've gathered together more than 25 different kinds of fluffs and flubs, goofs and gaffes, blunders and bloopers. And every one is, to my knowledge, authentic, genuine, and unretouched -- culled from thousands of specimens and submissions. I'm delighted by the widespread use of this book as laughter therapy.
