Pedantic : a hilarious and useful guide to the 100 terms smart people should know

by Ross Petras, Kathryn Petras

Your boss makes a joke about Schrodinger's cat which is something you've heard of but you're a little vague about what exactly happened (or didn't happen) with that cat. Or you're reading a New Yorker article that explains that 'Solecism slipped into solipsism into full-blown narcissistic project.' An excellent point, if you're sure what 'solecism' means, or, for that matter, 'solipsism.' Language gurus Ross Petras and Kathryn Petras to the rescue!

Fun, succinct, and not at all pedantic (in my humble opinion)

I'm not sure how this works but this is the same book as Awkword Moments: A Lively Guide to the 100 Terms Smart People Should Know. I thought it was just déjà vu initially, but no, same book.

At least this time I got to see the spellings, but I probably enjoyed the audiobook more.
