Most important, this edition adds more than 500 new words and terms that have come into common use since the previous edition was published. The addi- tions are by no means comprehensive, but they include some of the most promi- nent new locutions in a language that has grown increasingly rich. The Queen’s English, often regarded as a paradigm of correct and "proper" usage, has been busy absorbing words and phrases from diverse sources—some reflecting new political alignments, some from overseas, many from the argot of the street. . | FACTS ON FILE LIBRARY OF LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE A rigorously researched wickedly witty and eminently useful collection of nearly 5 500 Briticisms and Americanisms British English A TO Zed Third Edition ENGLISH SYNTAX PRONI URES OI- SPEECH PUNCTUATION TERMS CONNOTATIVE PLACE- AUTOMOTIVE TERMS MUSICAL RENCY HNANCIAL TERMS NAMES BOTANICAL AND NORMAN w.
