Bob's your uncle!

OUP has recently published Mighty Fine Words and Smashing Expressions: Making Sense of Transatlantic English which is a must-have for the English enthusiast or merely curious. It is not a dry lexicography but a lively and practical comparison of the two major dialects of English in all parts of daily usage. The author, Orin Hargraves, touches briefly on orthography and vocabulary then delves right into government, education, medical, food, clothing, shelter, transportation, sports and a host of other topics with detailed descriptions and tables to illustrate the differences. It's a brilliant book and I hope to see more from this author in the future.
