This book brings out into the open questions about language usage to which we still do not have good answers in a bid to make variation overt and to revel in the mystery of the English language.Both aimed at the interested general reader and the beginning student of English language and linguistics, this is a fresh take on grammar.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
