Product Description

Synopsis

The American-British British-American Dictionary is the first place to turn when you encounter a Briticism or Americanism. The dictionary catches differences in vocabulary, usage, pronunciation, and spelling. A number of articles describe the history of English, how and why differences arose, and what those differences are. A set of tables include national holidays, kings and queens, and money. Take plain vanilla English and taint it with American or British and you'll get strawberry fudge sundae or mint chocolate chip. The difference is only one percent, but a dash of essence delights or disgusts. If you're stumped by an Americanism or Briticism, The American-British British-American Dictionary will nudge you along, sometimes with a little extra insight. Accompanying the lexicons are light-hearted, easy-to-read, sometimes irreverent romps through language history, an exposition of differences, and accents and pronunciation. The dictionary is rounded out by tabulations of kings and queens, presidents, prime ministers, holidays, money old and new, and many other lists - and closes with some contributed cultural introspections. If you have the slightest curiosity about left or right-pondian issues, then this dictionary will be just the ticket, or your cup of tea, unrespectively.
