Clammering knaves can strange you out

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  17 October 2008

Abstract

A wide range of newsletters, clippings and cuttings, catalogues and correspondence arrives (and is welcomed) on ET's editorial desk. From the mass that goes into our files TOM McARTHUR has sorted out a mélange of malapropisms, foreignisms, neologisms, fake languages and odd usages that – somehow or other – come within ET's brief.
