Made in America (edit title)

• Rated 4 stars

“This was a great read about how the english language evolved and changed throughout the countries's history. The book is part enligh language and part history book. I really enjoyed Bryson's witty style of telling the history behind the words. I found it quite amusing at times. I was quite surprised at how some of the words that are still in use today came into regular use, most of them adapted from other languages. A great book to read if you want to learn about American use of the English language.”

“Overall, an interesting history of the American language and it's relation to old and modern British english. Gives context to the Americanisms up to the 90's, following the evolution of American society into one that is blatantly "bigger faster sooner." Slow going at first, with the era of the early settlers, but it's important background. Not really a good choice for a vacation/airplane book.”
