Product Information
Essential reading for talkers and listeners of all stripes: An original, entertaining, and surprising book that investigates verbal blunders: what they are, what they say about those who make them, and how and why we've come to judge them. "An enjoyable tour of linguistic mishaps." -- The New York Times Book Review Um... is about how you really speak, and why it's normal for your everyday speech to be filled with errors--about one in every ten words. In this charming, engaging account of language in the wild, linguist and writer Michael Erard also explains why our attention to some blunders rises and falls. Where did the Freudian slip come from? Why do we prize "umlessness" in speaking--and should we? And how do we explain the American presidents who are famous for their verbal stumbles?

Praise forUm. . . "Some people are bird watchers and learn a great deal about the birds they watch. Michael Erard watches word botchers and, in the process, enriches our experience of what language is about and what makes us human. After readingUm…,you'll never hear the thud and blunder of everyday speech in the same way." Richard Lederer, author ofAnguished English "Who'd have thought that a book calledUmcould be a page-turner? But Michael Erard's investigtions of "applied blunderology" come to something more than the familiar catalogues of verbal slips and gaffes from the high and the low. It's also a fascinating meditation on why blunders happen, and what they tell us about language and ourselves. At its deepest level, Umis an exercise in the zen of attention, which tunes us in to the revealing noises and pauses that we spend most of our time tuning out." Geoffrey Nunberg, NPR commentator "A lascinating fook at yet another revealing instance of human imperfection." Kirkus(Starred Review) "Included troughout are hilarious highlight reeks of bloopers, boners, spoonerisms, malapropisms, and 'eggcorns'... His work challenges the reader to think about his or her own speech in an entirely new way." Publishers Weekly From the Hardcover edition., "An enjoyable tour of linguistic mishaps. . . . Rewarding. . . . It reveals the dynamic nature of the human mind."- The New York Times Book Review "Engaging. . . . By focusing on what many of us overlook (or underhear?), Erard has further revealed the complexity and beauty of language. Perhaps he will make all of us both better listeners and, um, better speakers."- The Seattle Times "A fascinating look at those two-letter words we all know and, uh, overuse."- GQ "Erard's enthusiasm for his subject is infectious. He gets you wondering about blundering."- The Wall Street Journal "Some people are bird watchers and learn a great deal about the birds they watch.
