Word Myths : Debunking Linguistic Urban Legends

  • Word Myths : Debunking Linguistic Urban Legends

  • Attribution

    David Wilton ; illustrated by Ivan Brunetti

  • Publication Details

    Book, Oxford University Press, 2009

  • Description

    In Word Myths, David Wilton debunks some of the most spectacularly wrong word histories in common usage, giving us the real stories behind many linguistic urban legends. The term “upset” (to defeat unexpectedly) does not date from the horse race when the heavily favored Man O’ War was beaten by a nag named Upset (Upset was the only horse ever to defeat Man O’ War, but the word predates the race by half a century). As Wilton quashes these word myths, he offers us the best of both worlds: not only do we learn the many wrong stories behind these words, we also learn why and how they were created–and what the real story is.

  • Attribution

    Elise Hancock ; foreword by Robert Kanigel

  • Publication Details

    Book, Johns Hopkins University Press, 2003

  • Links

  • Description

    – from the foreword by Robert Kanigel, author of The Man Who Knew Infinity “In Ideas into Words, Elise Hancock has managed to write a guide to science writing that is not only comprehensive — she answers every question I could have imagined asking and then some — but also wise, vivid, and an awful lot of fun. Rich with real-life examples and anecdotes, this book covers the essentials of science writing: finding story ideas, learning the science, opening and shaping a piece, polishing drafts, overcoming blocks, and conducting interviews with scientists and other experts who may not be accustomed to making their ideas understandable to lay readers.
