This is a lifelong Anglophile, Erin Moore spent holidays in the UK, worked as an editor with British authors & married into an English American family. So, when she finally moved to London, the last thing she expected was a crash course in culture shock. & the first thing she learned was to take nothing for granted, even the language these two countries supposedly share. In That`s Not English, the seemingly superficial variations between British & American vocabulary open the door to a deeper exploration of historical & cultural differences. Each chapter begins with a single word & takes the reader on a wide-ranging expedition, drawing on diverse & unexpected sources. In Quite, Moore examines the tension between British reserve & American enthusiasm. In Pull, her theme is dating & sex; Cheers is about drinking. American readers will find out what the British mean when they say `proper` & why it is better to be bright than clever. British readers will discover that not all Americans are Yankees & why Americans give
- & take
- so many bloody compliments, & never, ever say shall. (Well, hardly ever.) That`s Not English is a transatlantic survival guide & a love letter to two countries that owe each other more than they would like to admit.
