Let us now praise Mrs. Malaprop. A character in Richard Brinsley Sheridans 1775 play The Rivals, shes made audiences laugh with her almost-but-not-quite-right word choices for generations. Other playwrights have worked this comic vein notably Molire, and Shakespeare, whose constable Dogberry, in Much Ado About Nothing, was a sort of proto-Barney Fife. But today we call such bungled usages malapropisms. Reviewing some examples of these the other day, though, I began to have a little sympathy for their namesake and all the rest of us who occasionally pick the wrong one of a pair of troublesome words. A number of these pairs sound just enough alike and share some common element of meaning to be plausibly confused. Take flaunt and flout, for instance. Flaunt means to show (something) off: a new car, for instance. Flout means to show or express disdain for something: regulations that tell you where you can or cannot park that new car, for instance.

This is divided into chapters matching Adam's jobs. The narrative of Eve, his life partner, is interwoven into it. What might have been a work of realist fiction is leavened with doses of real life; the author's personal experiences presented as examples in each chapter. The style is chatty and personal, with wry humour and an absence of posturing. We obtain intimate insight into the functioning of the British diplomatic service in its professional, societal and human dimensions. This novel approach produces both an engaging narrative for the general reader, and a textbook. Let me highlight the book's striking elements from an Indian perspective, juxtaposing the United Kingdom's methods with our own. The selection process in the United Kingdom (and in other major countries) is handled by the foreign ministry, and is rigorous. The interview in London stretches over two days, and takes each group of … Continue reading →
