Hundreds of millions of people use English every day everywhere in the world, but may or may not succeed in understanding each other. Despite the success of its standard form (or forms) in many countries, English is immensely diverse--probably more so than any single language ever has been. This book presents a compelling and broad-ranging invitation to consider the variety, the options, and the implications of this vastly complex language. 12 illustrations.
