You Are What You Speak: Grammar Grouches, Language Laws, and the Politics of Identity by Robert Lane Greene
3.0
Everything he discusses here ties together ultimately, but the topics of the various chapters are different enough that some are really more interesting than others.
It's certainly an important source of perspective, if you, like I, have a tendency to want to correct people's spelling, grammar, and usage.
If you care much at all about language, you should check this out. You probably won't find all of it compelling, but you'll probably find at least some parts of it edifying, entertaining, or both.
