I am a big fan of the English language, being an amateur writer and heavy reader that I am (and considering it's the only language I know well enough to hold a conversation in...), so these kinds of books are really up my alley.
Sounds very interesting. Next on my list. BTW, have you read Bill Bryson's The Mother Tongue? This is his history of the English language and I found it very interesting. Read it and you will learn the single most understood word in the world; spoken in every language in every country.
