Review by Publishers Weekly “Credit Word Abuse with a lively anecdotal approach, sharp perceptions, a sense of comedy. As she discusses jargon, the cliché’, the euphemism, emotional word color, the ‘new verbal morality’ (dirty words) and other perils, Cross makes some telling points in her jaunty opus. “
