## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love this book!
*by K***A on March 13, 2020*

Saw it at the library and just had to have my own copy. Now I can annotate to my heart's content. I also arrived a few days early. That was cool.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Start Here
*by C***R on December 2, 2011*

Linguistics is not everyone's chosen light reading, but "Why is English Like That?" is a great introduction to both the history and linguistic characteristics of our language. Anyone puzzled by the illogic of irregular verbs, our horrific spelling, or why there seem to be two words for everything in English (not true, but it sometimes feels that way) would find enlightenment a simple and enjoyable task with this book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ English Evolution
*by B***S on March 7, 2017*

I had to get this for school but it became one of my favorites. It is very interesting how English has evolved.
