Um
Posted on April 11, 2008 by doctoralstudent
I’m once again amazed by the fact that other people are interested in the same linguistic details I’m interested in. Sometimes they’re so interested they write a book about it! Michael Erard has written the book “Um. . .: Slips, Stumbles, and Verbal Blunders, and What They Mean” which I bought and started reading yesterday.
So far I’ve only read the first chapter and I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the book.
