The book is divided into four sections. The first section, "Language Lore," examines some of the myths and misconceptions that affect attitudes toward language--and towards English in particular. The second section, "Language Usage," examines some specific questions of meaning and usage. Section 3, "Language Trends," examines some controversial r trends in English vocabulary, and some developments too new to have received comment before. The fourth section, "Language Politics," treats several aspects of linguistic politics, from special attempts to deal with the ethnic, religious, or sex-specific elements of vocabulary to the broader issues of language both as a reflection of the public consciousness and the U.S. Constitution and as a refuge for the most private forms of expression.

    SNICK - Round 8 1. This place is home to a time machine that strongly resembles a water heater and emits ​ too much radiation to use. Despite living there for several years, a man in this place is surprised to learn it has a squash court and a silo. A rarely seen bedroom in this place is covered in underwear and contains a working interocetor. A song from Lou Reed's (*) Transformer inspired the name of this place, where visual communication is accomplished via a ​ hexfield or an external camera named Rocket Number 9. Most views into this place are provided by Cambot. A hallway filled with numbered doors is in, for 10 points, what dogbone-shaped spaceship that housed Mike, Joel, Servo, and Crow on Mystery Science Theater 3000? ​ ​ ANSWER: Satellite of Love ​ <Nelson, TV> 2. Wesley Carr oversaw this event just months after taking the job that required him to do ​ so. The Walking Dead actor Andrew Lincoln was one of 500 charity representatives who ​ ​ took part in this event. "Song For Athene," which John Tavener wrote for this event, heavily incorporated the text of Hamlet. A speech given at this event described a certain ​ ​ person as "the most (*) hunted person of the modern age." A work debuted at this event was ​ released alongside "Something About the Way You Look Tonight" as a single. That work for this event changed a lyric from "Norma Jean" to "England's rose." Elton John performed a version of "Candle in the Wind" at, for 10 points, what event following the death of a British royal?
