Is the growing influence of Spanish threatening to displace English in the United States? Are America's grammatical standards in serious decline? Has the media saturation of our culture homogenized our speech?

These and other questions catapulted Robert MacNeil and William Cran, coauthors of the language classic The Story of English, on a journey that took them around the country in search of answers. Do You Speak American?, the companion volume to a PBS special, is the tale of the surprising discoveries they made while interviewing a host of native speakers and observing everyday verbal interactions across the country. Examining the histories and controversies surrounding both written and spoken American English, MacNeil and Cran address highly emotional anxieties and assumptions about our language-and offer some unpredictable responses.

With insight and wit, MacNeil and Cran bring us a compelling follow-up to The Story of English that is at once a celebration and a potent study of our singular language.

QC Failure
Color: Black
Retro light works aleatory: Sometimes it activates a couple of seconds when button depressed, sometimes deactivated as soon as you release it. A gross quality control failure in a brand-new watch, very disappointing.

Nice Wallet
Beautiful men’s leather wallet by Fossil. Came in a tin gift box. Nice and big, which is what I was looking for. Has a pocket for coins. Planning on giving it to husband for Father’s Day and I know he’s gonna love it.
