French Language: Stop the massacre! (Paperback)

Customer Review

The man should not be afraid to question, particularly in relation to its native language. This book by Jean MAILLET contributes to give us ideas in place and does it in a light and humorous way.

The author addresses the following topics: pleonasms, anglicisms, genre, links, syntax, etc. By the multitude of examples given, this book is a gold mine of mistakes we should not commit.

It may not however claim to be exhaustive. Some very common exasperating anglicisms in the world of work are not included: deadline (if present deadline or target date), fundraising (when there are collection or fundraising), etc.

Unfortunately, I see every day that the Francophonie is not always defended by those who should ... Although now largely overtaken by the English that I practice myself, our language still enjoys great prestige in the abroad. It is still perceived as the language of culture. Defending one.

This is a refreshing book that I highly recommend reading.

PS: book purchased on Amazon.com, although the phrase "Purchase verified" does not appear.
