All of which is to say that the book is an interesting work on the language and contains accurate, though longwinded information about what it covers, interesting and useful facts about American English. Its only real faults are its title, which belies the content, the cutesy headings, and the lack of a truly detailed index: self-indexing does not provide coverage of sufficient detail.
