English can be such a beautiful language when used properly. However, sometimes what we say and write can lead to a great deal of misunderstanding and unintentional humour, as bestselling author and former school inspector Gervase Phinn shows in his book 'Gervase Phinn's Mangled English'. This humorous anthology of the English language includes book requests and book titles; people's names; proverbs; spoonerisms; classroom howlers; malapropisms and euphemisms; newspaper misprints; and epitaphs.
