Description:
British English A to Zed gives readers immediate access to an alphabetical listing of either the thousands of "Briticisms" cited in the general entries or the correlating "Americanisms" that appear throughout the book. This updated edition features more than 5,000 entries, including new words, both formal and slang, and words from sources as diverse as London businesses and Bridget Jones's Diary. This delightful book provides the most comprehensive reference to the vagaries of English as spoken on both sides of the Atlantic-it is rigorously researched, wickedly witty, and eminently useful.
