Weeds in the Garden of Words

- Further Observations on the Tangled History of the English Language

Bag om Weeds in the Garden of Words

The English language is a glorious garden, but it also contains some weeds. Linguistic weeds may be slang expressions, non-standard pronunciations, or constructions that are out of place. But what one gardener calls a 'weed', another may call a 'flower'. The same goes for words and their usage in English.
