- grammar policing is often avoiding the message itself. snobbery is prejudice and that is nothing to be proud of.

sissiemilia's review against another edition

informative fast-paced

2.75

I feel like I’m being a bit harsh with the 2,75 stars here, think of it as 3-. The subject of the book was really interesting and the facts presented were new to me and it changed the way I think about english as a language. I just really didn’t like the writing style. It felt painfully millenial-quirky-white-feminist core. 😭 I just hated it and it really made it go from a good 3,5 stars to 2,75. She also got some historical facts horrendously wrong and since I’m a history student I can’t let that pass. 🥲

If you want to insult a woman, call her a prostitute. If you want to insult a man, call him a woman.

A bit heavy on the millennial humour here and there, but a really enjoyable and informative read. Montell's next book is already on my radar.

Definitely the most interesting book I've read this year. I'm sure this is going to be the next feminist book I bully everyone into reading.
