| Summary |
"The Superior Persons Field Guide is a call for the return to simple, straightforward words that say what they mean and mean what they say. Most of us know that downsizing means that you're going to be fired. In his customary wit and clear sightedness, Bowler cuts through popular jargon casting daylight on the English language."--Dust jacket |
