Did you know that Karl Marx was one of the Marx Brothers? That a man with two wives is called a pigamist? Or that certain road signs in Japan might ask you to drive sideways? These and other side-splitting examples of the many, many ways in which the English language is mangled, tortured, twisted and otherwise abused have been collected by veteran high-school English teacher Lederer for your reading pleasure and discombobulation. :)
