コメント	What if you fired your shrink and hired a proofreader? \nMore than just a dictionary of euphemisms by a hip young linguist, "The Evasion-English Dictionary" is a merciless translation of the banalities of contemporary speech. It's also scathingly funny. \nFor example, Balistreri asks what if you substituted the word "you" for the phrase "the relationship" in the sentence, "There seem to be a lot of problems with the relationship." Or what if you substituted the word "because" for the word "but" in the sentence "They drive me crazy but my parents are very involved in my life." \nEntertaining as it is, however, the "E.E.D." is also a thought-provoking and insightful look into the twists and turns of modern English usage--a smart and useful, albeit hysterical, earwitness account of verbal mishaps and manipulations that's destined to become a classic with language lovers and a useful reference tool on the desk of writers everywhere.
