Review # 1 was written on 2009-05-23 00:00:00 Edward Agnew For those studying linguistics, this is probably a very important book. I like that this book explores the various history behind the English language. Notice the title is pluralized - well, there are so many variations in this world, it's so compelling how it has no boundaries. Is it a dialect? An accent? and most importantly, what does it mean to be in the "standard form"?

Review # 2 was written on 2011-01-28 00:00:00 Paul Robinson I teach this book; it's used in my Senior Nonfiction course. The kids really seems to like most of it, because it's timely, relevant, and spurns great discussions in class. I love the spectrum of writers included in this book.
