Title: Not To Be Taken Too Seriously
Review: One thing this book does go to prove, is that even the most learned of linguistic scholars amongst us (re:the author) remains, as ever, "divided" by our common language.My tip to any American visitor to these shores would be not to take this book too seriously. Many of the phrases, expressions and translations offered are somewhat antiquated and dated. The section of this book providing most humour is where the authour offers advice to Britons in America, and what common British expressions we should not say whilst in the States. Thank you for the advice, but there are many phrases inlcuded that a Brit wouldn't use here either. Quite simply, I wouldn't be understood.
