Mighty fine words and smashing expressions

"Mighty Fine Words and Smashing Expressions: Making Sense of Transatlantic English is a practical and engaging guide to sorting out the differences between American and British English. Written with a culturally neutral stance, this book catalogs the differences between the "two" languages. Not simply a collection of lists, the chapters of this book are arranged around important and familiar topics, including Education; the Government and the Law; Money, Business, and Work; Sickness and Health; Food, Clothing, and Shelter; Transport(ation); Sport(s) and Leisure; and What You Don't Say." "Entertaining and fun, Mighty Fine Words and Smashing Expressions contains comprehensive word and subject indexes, making it an invaluable resource for word-lovers, English teachers, media junkies, and travel(l)ers back and forth across the pond."--Jacket.
