Between You and I is James Cochrane's bestselling guide to the falling standards of written and spoken English. It is the essential course in language detoxification - a valiant attempt to salvage some pearls of good usage from the linguistic dystopia of the modern world. Many readers may be surprised to find that much of what they thought was "bad" English is in fact perfectly good, and what they have been led to think of as "good" English is sometimes ignorant, dishonest or plain stupid.
