Harrison and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Every-Day Errors of Speech" by L. P. Meredith is a linguistic guide written in the late 19th century. The book addresses common errors in English pronunciation and usage, highlighting the tendency for even educated individuals to make mistakes due to improper example or lack of awareness. The author aims to preserve the purity of the English language by correcting these everyday missteps and providing clarity on proper usage. The opening of the work presents an introduction to its theme, emphasizing the rich diversity and resilience of the English language against corruption. Meredith discusses the significance of adhering to established orthoepical standards, referencing dictionaries by Webster and Worcester as authoritative sources on pronunciation. The introduction then outlines the purpose of the book: to illuminate common errors of speech that plague everyday conversations, particularly among those who may not have consciously studied philology or linguistic conventions. This sets a scholarly yet accessible tone for readers who seek to refine their spoken English. (This is an automatically generated summary.) Reading ease score: 61.7 (8th & 9th grade).
