The Right Word in the Right Place at the Right Time: Wit and Wisdow from the Popular Language Column in the New York Times Magazine

Pleased with buy as I have always loved Safire's witty comments on style, grammar and language. Most certainly five stars.

As a retired English professor, I always liked his columns, but when you get them all in a book, with all the nitpicking responses that people sent him,, it's a bit much.

This is a very interesting book,It will arm you with better grammars, particularly for a person from overseas and has a taste for history or anecdotes. I found the phrases and words help clarify common confusions. They are explained in the context of history, kind of fun and relaxing. I remember Katie Couric once mentioned: I mentally cross off a person when I hear the wrong pronoun...So it worth invest a little on proper language.

William Safire at his best. Only he could approach language with so much panache. Great read for anyone who appreciates the intricacies of the language

This is a terrific book by a terrific thinker and writer. It's full of obscure word history that never fails to interest. And the dictionary organization makes it pretty easy to find passages that you might be interested in using for reference at a later date.

Got the book as described in the post. Thanks to the seller.
