Master verbalist Richard Lederer, America's Wizard of Idiom (Denver Post), presents a love letter to the most glorious of human achievements...Welcome to Richard Lederer's beguiling celebration of language -- of our ability to utter, write, and receive words. No purists need stop here. Mr. Lederer is no linguistic sheriff organizing posses to hunt down and string up language offenders. Instead, join him In Praise of English, and discover why the tongue described in Shakespeare's day as of small reatch has become the most widely spoken language in history:
- English never rejects a word because of race, creed, or national origin. Did you know that jukebox comes from Gullah and canoe from Haitian Creole?
- Many of our greatest writers have invented words and bequeathed new expressions to our eveyday conversations. Can you imagine making up almost ten percent of our written vocabulary? Scholars now know that William Shakespeare did just that
He also points out the pitfalls and pratfalls of English. If a man mans a station, what does a woman do? In the The Department of Redundancy Department, Is English Prejudiced? and other essays, Richard Lederer urges us not to abandon that which makes us human: the capacity to distinguish, discriminate, compare, and evaluate.

Great Ball
Size: 6 Inch, Color: Red
Our Little Goldendoodle Loves this ball & I like that it has so many straps to grab so I'm not getting the slimy part. It does not come already inflated so make sure you or a neighbor have an air compressor to blow it up because even though it came with a little pump I can't imagine how many weeks I'd have been pumping that without noticing any difference.

Virtually indestructible
Size: 8 Inch, Color: Red
Long lasting ball for a large dog. Bought the first one a few years ago. Its been outside all this time, still full of air and was virtually impossible for my large dog to destroy it. The weather affected the surface so ordered a new one. This has outlasted all the other balls.

Great toy for larger dogs
Size: 8 Inch, Color: Pink
This is holding up pretty well with my Great Pyrenees pup. She was able to pull all of the tags off-but the ball is intact for several weeks!

So much fun
Size: 8 Inch, Color: Pink
Best money ever spent hours of fun. We have 3 dogs. They all love to play with this toy. We got the size 3 large is what we ordered. I'm not going to lie I thought it would be bigger when I ordered it. Two of our dogs are large breeds and the other is medium. It's not too big for the medium to play with it. It comes with a ball pump included so convenient. The little tabs are very durable. I can't recommend this enough. This has no squeaking or any sounds. It's nice that you can play with your four legged companion or you can have them play tug or just enjoy pushing the ball around. It is very versatile in play and stimulation.
