DESCRIPTION
Indian English: An Exmaination of the Errors of Idiom Made by Indians in Writing English is a well-known book on common errors of English Idiom. The author looks into minute errors in the use of English by Indians. The major emphasis is however on the use of the articles, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, nouns, pronouns, adjectives and verbs. In the present context, a book written in 1907 has not lost its relevance as even now most of the Indian users of English seldom care to correctly use the items discussed in this well-documented and well-authenticated treatise based on the author's minute observations of all these nuances of English language. Thus in the present-day context this study will reveal the nature and causes of 'deviations' from one point of view and the currency and acceptability of the so-called errors from the point of view of local idiom.
