Sadly I know a lot of Americans who would benefit from that book.
ReplyDeleteSounds a facinating book, well done, Lance. You deserve many sales.
ReplyDeleteThank you Donna for sharing.
I have ancestors going back to the American Revolution and I learned (or was reminded of) a few things in this book. I thought the accent reduction section might be especially valuable for foreigners--especially people like foreign students at universities or foreign exchange students.
