I'm tired of linking to this great book on the atrocity of the English language

I’ve linked this several times. Here it is. Just get (and read) this book.

Highly Irregular: Why Tough, Through, and Dough Don’t Rhyme―And Other Oddities of the English Language

Here’s a podcast interview with the author if you’re illiterate:

pglpm,

You have never linked that book in this community, so not clear how you can be tired. If you’re so tired, then just don’t link it.

Neither the reproachful tone, nor the command to get and read a book are appreciated.

some_guy,

I have linked to it on Lemmy several times, but maybe not in this community. I was trying not to sound like a spammer and failed. Your feedback is under review. I will be filing this under “how to do better.”
