You Are What You Speak: Grammar Grouches, Language Laws, and the Politics of Identity by Robert Lane Greene

4.0

The beginning chapters in which sticklers are scolded for their militant anger and rigid perceptions are the most interesting parts. The actual descriptions of language development and use in different countries was a little dry in parts. Overall, it as a really smart book, and I enjoyed the author's perspective and the enthusiasm with which he presented it.
