Review title: Interesting, but falls short.
Product review: This is definitely an interesting read about the various "dialects" around America. But, borrow it from you library like I did; don't buy it. There was way too much time spent on Ghetto English and Valley Girl talk. What's missing is the impact of science and technology on shaping the language. There is also not enough emphasis on the "language that will make one successful" and I don't mean the overpaid athletes! I mean the everyday average Joe who has pulled himself up by his bootstraps and succeeded.The level of writing in this book disappointed me. A few points left we wondering what the authors truly meant since their sentence structure was so poor. Then, toss in the occasional passive voice and what can I say. Their were several places where section breaks were needed; an indication that the authors had stayed too long on a topic like the Ghetto English.
