Origins of the Specious: Myths and Misconceptions of the English Language

Origins of the Specious is a revolutionary book that sets the record straight on some of grammar's most persistent myths.

Written by two word mavens, this book will delight and inform even the most skeptical grammarphiles.

With wit and rigorous research, the authors reveal why "they" was once used for both singular and plural, how an 18th-century female grammarian is responsible for the all-purpose "he," and why it's okay to split an infinitive, end a sentence with a preposition, or use "ain't." This eye-opening romp through the history of language will be the toast of grammarphiles and the salvation of grammarphobes.
