This book is a celebration of all things shite about the misuse of English, highlighting the prevalence of absent apostrophes, ghastly grammar, suspect sentences and rambling repetitiveness, commentators' claptrap, tortuous tautologies, insane instructions and quicky quotations in society today. This essential collection touches upon ambiguous adverts - 'Why not have the kids shot for Easter, or have a family portrait taken?'; dangling modifiers - 'She slipped on the ice and apparently her legs went in separate directions in early December'; senseless statements - 'With half the race gone, there is half the race still to go'; and cloying cliches - 'If you fnd yourself in hot water, put your best foot forward'; and also includes lists of malapropisms, euphemisms, misspellings, rhyming slang and puns. Featuring a plethora of examples that show how to get the worst out of the world's most commonly soken language, Eats, Shites & Leaves is a wittily informative insight into how the English language can be used and abused in the twenty-first century. Read once then sat on book shelf, still in good condition
