Synopsis
This engaging collection of National Public Radio broadcasts and magazine pieces by one of America's best-known linguists covers the waterfront of contemporary culture by taking stock of its words and phrases. From our metaphors for the Internet ("Virtual Rialto") to the perils of electronic grammar checkers ("The Software We Deserve"), from traditional grammatical bugaboos ("Sex and the Singular Verb") to the ways we talk about illicit love ("Affairs of State"), Geoffrey Nunberg shows just how much the language we use from day to day reveals about who we are and who we want to be.

    Initial contact with seller was request to cancel as purchased in error (my fault). They said items ship in hours can’t cancel but can return and refund will be issued (Great understand). Initial order said delivery by Aug 6. Nothing arrived asked for tracking they don’t have tracking wait until Aug 12. Reached out on Aug 12 all of a sudden they have tracking and say it has shipped July 30. Yet tracking shows shipping label was created Aug 12 and given to USPS on Aug 12th. Now delivery Aug 15.
