Summary The third edition of this standard reference book lists in one alphabetical sequence foreign phrases, proverbs, maxims and abbreviations frequently used in written and spoken English. An index of phrases by language follows the main alphabetical list. The completely revised and updated third edition has been enlarged by the addition of pronunciation guides, by more than 500 new entries, and by the inclusion of sources of many expressions. For those who wish to know the meaning of cum laude, the correct pronunciation of curriculum vitae, or who said Apràs moi le déluge, this is the ideal reference source.
