What are the top 100 words we use the most? How should anchovy, chastisement and tryst be pronounced? How good are you at spelling the most commonly misspelt words and names? Sit back and let Richard Anthony Baker guide you through the richness of what we derive from French and German; then bristle at the word banned in the Daily Telegraph; laugh at the officialese of corporate and government writers; bone up on our use of language from one William Shakespeare (and the Bible) in our day-to-day talk.
