Teresa Monachino pureutuu englannin kielen outoihin ja kiehtoviin sanoihin hersyvän oivaltavasti ja graafisen suunnittelun keinoin. Teos leikittelee kielellisillä kummallisuuksilla ja kutsuu lukijan nauttimaan englannin monimutkaisesta luonteesta.
In this quirky new title designer and typographer Teresa Monachino rounds up and breaks down a variety of unruly words: words lacking in integrity, misleading words that do not mean what they say, words that mean more than they say, words with inconsistent pronunciation or spellings that are just plain cruel! Using striking and witty graphic design the author demands answers to such troublesome questions as, why is abbreviation such a long word, does monosyllabic really need five syllables and why is lisp so hard to say if you have one?
