Righting English That's Gone Dutch

This entertaining book looks at the English produced by Dutch speakers, and where it often goes wrong.  It has many humorous examples of what gets unintentionally transferred from Dutch, and why.  It gives advice on writing English right, as well as giving new insights from British and American style manuals, and tips on how to use the Internet as a Dunglish checker.  Useful for Dutch speakers and also native English speakers who translate from Dutch into English.  Witty and authoritative.
