This book contains texts about language, written in recent years by a professional writer with concern for the language. Not concern about the risk of its extinction; such a risk the author does not discern; on the contrary, in the thousands of blogs that have flooded the Internet, he sees the most categorical refutation of the myth regarding the language deficiency of the youth.
However, there is concern about the obstacles, the potholes, and the dangerous turns on the road, obstacles in the path of the language itself and obstacles in each of our daily struggles to master the language. Therefore, "language with obstacles". (. . .)
Nikos Sarantakos, a veteran worker of the printed word and seasoned in the Internet trenches, will help you find your way through the linguistic minefield of 21st-century reality, without being swept away by the Sirens of linguistic myths and showing you how to fight against the Laestrygonians and Cyclopes of linguistic errors and embellishment.
At the end of your journey, a tour awaits you in the colorful bazaar of modern purism.
