This fascinating collection provides hundreds of simple mnemonics to help you remember awkward spellings, grammatical rules and useful facts and figures. It also wanders through the weird and wonderful byways of English idioms, where nothing means what it says. If you want a little traditional wisdom or some cracking new insults, this book offers a treasure trove of curious, witty and downright obscure English idioms. Do you know why Big Elephants Are Useful To Indians For Unloading Logs? Because it's a BEAUTIFUL way to get a tricky spelling right. Have you ever lost an argument? Or was it an argument? If you can just remember 'I lost an 'e' in an argument', then you'll never get it wrong again. Would you be upset if someone said you were 'a sandwich short of a picnic'? Or could you be described as someone who 'fell asleep in a greenhouse'?
