Bruce's
book, You Can Say That Again, published
by Hounslow Press, appeals to those
who want to stop the decline of English usage.
You Can Say That Again is his lighthearted
look at the the English language. It examines the origins, history, and
peculiarities of the language. It sets the record straight on how to pronounce
some of the most troublesome words and names. It examines the standards
of the electronic media and finds them wanting. And it offers tips on
preparation and effective presentation for platform speakers and broadcasters.
You Can Say That Again has a language quiz
in every chapter, along with lists of origins, political and business
terms, sports and science bloopers, puns, limericks, and euphemisms. There's
a pronunciation guide for major languages. And there's help for those
who want to join the battle against jargon, slang, and clichés.

You Can Say That Again can help you sound better when you open
your mouth to speak.
