However, the world's most important language does have a number of difficult areas and pitfalls for the unwary. Fortunately, \"Her Ladyship\" is here to help you avoid them--and teach you how to pronounce \"schedule\" the English way and find the right synonym for \"toilet\" when you're chatting to bishops and barons. She covers: common mistakes in grammar (which will belie a lowly upbringing), typical misspellings, frequently misused words, and the all-important choice of phrases to use in posh society . . . with a guide to pronouncing them correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCaroline Taggart is the author of \u003ci\u003eHer Ladyship's Guide to the Queen's English\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eI Used to Know That\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Book of English Place Names\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Book of London Place Names\u003c\/i\u003e, and co-author of \u003ci\u003eMy Grammar and I (or should that be 'Me'?\u003c\/i\u003e).
