I enjoyed this book. I bought a paperback copy of this book earlier this year after reading about it on an article about books that Steve Jobs had read. The article is written by the same author: https://www.inc.com/geoffrey-james/12-books-steve-jobs-wante...
Re:Words for “yes” in Romance languages on Saturday February 24, 2018 @12:20AM (#16451849)
Now this is a cool article. It's funny and ironic that an article uses slang while talking about how old languages acquired other phrases from other languages, calques.
