Publisher's Synopsis

English As She Is Spoke; Or A Jest In Sober Earnest is a book written by James Millington. It is a humorous take on the English language and its usage. The book is a compilation of poorly translated phrases and idioms from French to English, resulting in comical and nonsensical sentences. The author uses these phrases to poke fun at the English language and its quirks. The book is a satire on language learning and the difficulties of mastering a foreign language. It is a light-hearted read that is sure to make readers laugh and appreciate the intricacies of language.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
