Made in America: An Informal History of the English Language in the United States by Bill Bryson

5.0

Read this in a linguistics course at Southeastern many years ago. I wasn’t expecting our “textbook” to be so entertaining. Bill Bryson has a very fun way of presenting information. I really enjoyed reading the differing names for like things across the country as well as how things came to be called what they are. It has been a very long time now since I read this book but I still remember much of it and would recommend it to anyone interested in the topics presented.
