A survey of the quirks and quandaries of the English language, focusing on our strange and wonderful grammar. Why do we say "I am reading a catalog" instead of "I read a catalog"? Why do we say "do" at all? Is the way we speak a reflection of our cultural values? Delving into these provocative topics and more, Our Magnificent Bastard Tongue distills hundreds of years of fascinating lore into one lively history.

Update: format fixed!
Below the line is the original review which no longer applies—which is why I’m updating this.
I don’t know what happened. Whether it was an app update or they updated the audio file, but now the book has chapter breakdowns and it is now usable as it was intended.
The only reason I found this out was that I redownloaded the book with the intention of just listening to it straight through while doing something else (instead of studying it). When I opened it I immediately realized that it now had chapters!
I leave the original below for record only. It’s no longer relevant.
———
Unfortunately, this isn’t broken into chapters. The stories are all in one 4+ hour blob, so trying to navigate around is a hellish experience. They should have split the chapters as they are in the printed book.
Good luck trying to listen to a single chapter repeatedly (as instructed to do!). You’ll spend a lot of time and energy trying to use your finger to scrub to the right location.
It’s probably better on teach your own’s app. I hope for those users, anyway.
Hth.

Missing the Chapter Markers
Of course Olly's books & mp3 s are top quality. But, and I have several of them, this Swedish version mp3 does not have the Chapter Markers. When I start the mp3 from the beginning, it just goes through the Intro and then directly into the closing chapter. But if I manually move the "Position Button" (my term here) I can find the chapters. The quality of the book and the recording is just great, but this is a little inconvenient so I'm going 4 stars. If it's fixed I'll change it to 5.

Good content, badly organized
Good audio quality and performance. No chapter divisions, difficult to navigate chapters and content in general.
