Master verbalist Richard Lederer, America's Wizard of Idiom (Denver Post), presents a love letter to the most glorious of human achievements...Welcome to Richard Lederer's beguiling celebration of language -- of our ability to utter, write, and receive words. No purists need stop here. Mr. Lederer is no linguistic sheriff organizing posses to hunt down and string up language offenders. Instead, join him In Praise of English, and discover why the tongue described in Shakespeare's day as of small reatch has become the most widely spoken language in history:
- English never rejects a word because of race, creed, or national origin. Did you know that jukebox comes from Gullah and canoe from Haitian Creole?
- Many of our greatest writers have invented words and bequeathed new expressions to our eveyday conversations. Can you imagine making up almost ten percent of our written vocabulary? Scholars now know that William Shakespeare did just that
He also points out the pitfalls and pratfalls of English. If a man mans a station, what does a woman do? In the The Department of Redundancy Department, Is English Prejudiced? and other essays, Richard Lederer urges us not to abandon that which makes us human: the capacity to distinguish, discriminate, compare, and evaluate.

Comfortable jeans. Perfect length. Too baggy for my body shape.

I got size 0. They are comfortable, but really baggy. The length sits perfect at my ankles. The quality of the jeans are also nice. Pockets are a good size.

Too high waisted
Size: 14, Color: Black
I really wanted these jeans to fit because I loved the style and the heavier weight with just a touch of stretch. Size 14 should have fit but was huge. High waist is an understatement; the waist hit between my bellybutton and my boobs. The whole body area - waist, butt, crotch was huge. Sad because I liked the look of the legs...just the right amount of width and the length hitting the top of my Chelsea boots (26" exactly, I measured) plus the wide cuff. I'm not sure if going down a size or two will change how high the waist goes.

I’m smitten
Size: 18, Color: Black
These are so well made and perfect high-rise to keep my belly tucked away. Have the perfect stretch without making me sausage like. Keep shape all day! Great length and look so cute with all kinds of shoes. Can’t wait for sweater weather!
