Praise for the Original
Junk English
"Junk English is terrific
... lively, funny, and impeccably right-minded ... takes mighty whacks
in all the
right places...."
- Jonathan
Yardley, The Washington Post
"Smith has no time for persiflage
... the sword of righteousness smites with a fearsome blade in Junk
English...."
- The Boston Globe
"If Orwell's
Politics and the English Language were updated ... it might look
like Junk English. Quirky ... will delight language
purists...."
- Publisher's Weekly
"Compact ... reasonably priced
... highly recommended for all libraries and could be considered essential
reading in English
classes."
- Library Journal
"...a new Strunk & White
... written in such a humorous, nonthreatening way that it might actually
be of some use...."
- NYPress
"An admirably cranky
little book ... refreshingly judgmental ... will make you laugh,
and you'll never use effort as
a verb again.
- Forbes FYI
"...small
and streamlined, almost a thesaurus of sloppy usage ... deserves
a place on the desk of any writer or
editor."
-
Minneapolis Star & Tribune
