Reviews

The ocean that divides England and America is awash with linguistic wreckage and cultural tumult. But Erin Moore's study of these infested waters is serene, assured, and hugely entertaining. They should hand her book out at border control. -- Simon Garfield, author of Just My Type I'm mad about this book! I don't mean 'angry' in the American sense, but Britishly 'enthusiastic, gobsmacked.' Much has been written about the language barrier between Britspeak and Americanspeak, but, more than any other explorer, Erin Moore puts a human face on the subject. -- Richard Lederer, author of Anguished English Moore manages to create a text that is eminently readable, clever (in the sincerely-intended American sense), and thought-provoking, gently breaking down some of the cultural stereotyping that plagues both Americans and British. -- Publishers Weekly
