New Book, "It’s Your Word Againt Mine," Offers a Teacher’s Take on Pop Culture and More

OISTINS, Barbados - Oct. 8, 2015 - PRLog -- Language is a funny thing. Over the years it has evolved in different countries in different ways. Comparing the same words in various cultures can come up with completely different meanings.

In his new book, educator Sylvester Carrington compares unique cultural words and phrases from his native Barbados with select American terms. Some words have a totally different meaning in his culture, while other words can’t be translated at all.

The author’s engaging storytelling will grab readers and take them along on a cultural journey, using a vehicle of simple words that highlight the different aspects of the two cultures in which he has called home.

With amazing skill, he has woven each term and phrase into a narrative that is fascinating, entertaining, educational, and at times, personal and autobiographical. Watch for the words in italics throughout his book that compare and contrast these two different cultures.

“It’s Your Word Against Mine offers a totally new and fun way to look at language. We are pleased to announce its release,” said Robert Fletcher, CEO of Strategic Book Publishing and Rights Agency.
