I really love when you are surprised (amazed?) by something that you haven’t really thought about before. This book helped do this for me in regards to both the English language as a whole and the dictionary. I’m not really verbose and I often have a hard time pronouncing and spelling words so I was a little hesitant to get into this one, but it was worth the trouble and time. It’s not very long but there is a lot there.
