"laxicographers and ding-a-linguists"

[Robert Hartwell Fiske]

Coming in June, _The  Dictionary of Disagreeable English -- Deluxe Edition_ 
(http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?link_code=ur2&tag=thevocabulare-20&c

The Grumbling Grammarian is back with a revised and expanded edition of  The 
Dictionary of Disagreeable English. In this second edition, Robert  Hartwell 
Fiske has added more—and more disagreeable—language blunders,  additional 
witty commentary, and a new feature that includes frequently asked  language 
questions, and their answers.  
Fiske rails against "laxicographers and ding-a-linguists" who, with their  
misguided thinking, actually promote the dissolution of the English language. He 
 also illustrates why dictionaries don't always provide the correct meaning 
or  usage of a word.
