Sinopsis
A second collection from the Telegraph's popular column.Do you know your 'dotcoms' from your 'hubs' and 'portals', and your 'bugs' from your 'viruses'? Are your linguistic credentials 'pukka'? Do you long to be a language 'maven'? Or is it just too much 'hassle'?Keeping up with the ever-changing world of modern English can be a full time occupation. Words gain new meanings; old words come back into fashion; new words are constantly invented; and foreign words suddenly gatecrash the party. The second volume of Frantic Semantics is an entertaining guide to this brave new world. From the meteoric rise of the nameless '@' to the story of 'Xmas', it is essential - and amusing - reading for all those who are occasionally baffled by our mother tongue. With wonderful illustrations and some very topical definitions, this will make the perfect present for anyone interested in language.
