English As She is Wrote,
Showing Curious ways in which the English Language may be made to convey Ideas or obscure them.
A Companion to “English as She is Spoke.”
(1883)

A curiosity from PG, this little book humorously shows ways in which the English language may be misused. It features an 800-word sentence; a number of funny epitaphs and badly-composed advertisements etc.
These slips are both funny and quite instructive.
