ENGLISH...AS SHE IS SPOKE

by | Read by Donald Monat, June Dixon

Contemporary Culture • 50 min. • Audio Program • ©

Two clever writer-performers offer a delightful, unpretentious riff on our bedeviling language. Hear a witty take on the invention of English, a rundown of Shakespeare's coinages that have entered the vocabulary, and a politically correct "Dear Abby." There's no structure unifying the sets of commentary, skits and history, just enough variety to keep one interested throughout the modest length of the exercise.
