In each of the thirty chapters, Erin Moore explains a different word we use that says more about us than we think. For example, \"Quite\" exposes the tension between English reserve and American enthusiasm; in \"Moreish,\" she addresses our snacking habits. In \"Partner,\" she examines marriage equality; in \"Pull,\" the theme is dating and sex; \"Cheers\" is about drinking; and \"Knackered\" covers how we raise our kids. The result is a cultural history in miniature and an expatriate’s survival guide.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmerican by birth, Moore is a former book editor who specialized in spotting British books—including \u003ci\u003eEats, Shoots\u0026amp;Leaves\u003c\/i\u003e—for the US market. She’s spent the last seven years living in England with her Anglo American husband and a small daughter with an English accent. \u003ci\u003eThat’s Not English\u003c\/i\u003e is the perfect companion for modern Anglophiles and the ten million British and American travelers who visit one another’s countries each year.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Temple Publications International, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47125146697968,"sku":"9780698186309","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780698186309_p0.jpg?v=1763620549","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780698186309","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
