Exploring the concept of linguistic acceptability, Kate Burridge delves into the world of 'unacceptable' words, phrases, and pronunciations in English. With a humorous approach, she examines the evolving nature of language and the social attitudes that shape our perceptions of what is deemed acceptable or not. Through engaging examples, Burridge invites readers to reconsider their linguistic judgments and embrace the richness and diversity of English usage.
