Description:
A collection of 366 facts about language to enliven each day of the year.
In this ingenious and diverse collection of 366 stories, events and facts about language, David Crystal presents a selection of insights from literary and linguistic writers, poets and global institutions, together with the weird and wonderful creations of language enthusiasts to enliven each day of the year.
The day-by-day treatment illustrates the extraordinary breadth of the subject, from ‘Morse Code Day’ to ‘Talk Like William Shatner Day’, from forensic phonetics used to catch serial killers to heroines of speed reading, and covers writers from many different eras and cultures, including William Shakespeare, Oscar Wilde, Emily Dickinson, Toni Morrison, R. K. Narayan, Wole Soyinka and many more.
Some days focus on pronunciation, orthography, grammar or vocabulary. Others focus on the way language is used in science, religion, politics, broadcasting, publishing, the Internet and the arts. There are days that acknowledge the achievements of language study, such as in language teaching, speech therapy, deaf education and forensic science, as well as technological progress, from the humble pencil to digital software. Several days celebrate individual languages, such as those recognised as ‘official’ by the United Nations, but not forgetting those spoken by small communities, along with their associated cultural identities.
A celebration of the remarkable creativity of all who have illuminated our understanding of language, this book is ideal for anyone wanting to add an extra point of interest to their language day.

Fantastic engineering

Awesome holder. Follow the directions. This appears to be German manufactured and very well thought out. Great having my rig off my desk - more room for my second monitor!

Pretty damn good, instructions are on the right in English. Took me a hot minute to find it and was so close to getting back into Duolingo and learning German.

These surge protectors are rated some of the best you can get
These surge protectors are rated some of the best you can get, so I have been purchasing them for many years. Even though their shell is made of plastic, I've had excellent luck with them over the years without any problems. Recently, one of them had the green light stop working intermittently. I emailed APC and got a replacement without a bunch of hassle. I simply sent them the serial number on the current one and they sent a replacement. It's been a long time since I've experienced this kind of customer support from anywhere. I have to say that APC's customer support is excellent and I will continue to buy their products without question.

I have my Google Fiber router plugged into this. I don't think this product worked as advertised, a lightning storm destroyed the router.
