Synopsis Praise for A Man of My Words "In A Man of My Words, the remarkable Richard Lederer consummates his lifelong mission as a wonderfully gifted teacher and the world's most ardent promoter of the English language. The essays collected here could just as well be called The Best of Richard Lederer, for they display the dazzling breadth and perspicacity of the author's supple mind. This book is vintage Lederer--abounding with wisdom, humanity, and, as always, sidesplitting humor--and sure to please both longtime fans and new readers of his work." --Charles Harrington Elster, author of Verbal Advantage and The Big Book of Beastly Mispronunciations "Richard Lederer opens the treasure chest of English and delights in each shiny coin he finds. Both punderful romp and passionate reverie, A Man of My Words shimmers with wit and wisdom. This is Lederer's most personal and powerful book yet, the golden culmination of a life in letters." -- Rob Kyff, a.k.a. "The Word Guy," nationally syndicated language columnist and author of Once Upon a Word "Richard Lederer's A Man of My Words is a rollicking memoir of one man's lifelong love affair with language. Whether he's pun-tificating about the easy way to distinguish between lie and lay, railing against the mispronunciation of "nuclear," or pondering why we drive on a parkway and park in a driveway, this is Lederer at his verbivorous, language-besotted best." --Martha Barnette, author of Dog Days and Dandelions and Ladyfingers and Nun's Tummies "Rollicking and frolicking through the verbal bounty of these pages, readers will find A Man of MyWords to be a book for all seasons. Its marvel-filled topics, discoveries, and themes capture the ever-elusive, ever-enchanting romancing of English at which Richard Lederer has become our Cupid." --Patricia K. Davis, author of A Midnight Carol Praise for Richard Lederer "Columnist and punster Richard Lederer may be William Safire's only living peer at writing about grammar, word usage, and derivations." --Washington Post Book World "Richard Lederer's delight in English is itself delightful - and contagious!" --Edwin Newman, author of Strictly Speaking and A Civil Tongue "Lederer beguiles and bedazzles." -- Los Angeles Times
