Anguished English, the flagship book of the Laurel Intrepid Linguist Library, is fast becoming the best-selling language humor book of all time. More than half a million readers have chuckled through its "accidental assaults upon our language."Now comes More Anguished English, which is even bigger and funnier than its best-selling begetter.
