CHOSEN BY THE ECONOMIST AS A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR An American linguist teaching in England explores the sibling rivalry between British and American English"English accents are the sexiest."
"Americans have ruined the English language." Such claims about the English language are often repeated but rarely examined. Professor Lynne Murphy is on the linguistic front line. In The Prodigal Tongue she explores the fiction and reality of the special relationship between British and American English. By examining the causes and symptoms of American Verbal Inferiority Complex and its flipside, British Verbal Superiority Complex, Murphy unravels the prejudices, stereotypes and insecurities that shape our attitudes to our own language. With great humo(u)r and new insights, Lynne Murphy looks at the social, political and linguistic forces that have driven American and British English in different directions: how Americans got from centre to center, why British accents are growing away from American ones, and what different things we mean when we say estate, frown, or middle class. Is anyone winning this war of the words? Will Yanks and Brits ever really understand each other?

It does it's thing. Perfect fit compared to OEM.
If you aren't changing your own air filters in your vehicle you should be. Air filter swaps are a huge ripoff if you get the dealer to do them. Granted, most maintenance at dealerships is a ripoff BUT it takes all of five minutes if you don't know what you are doing, most of which is watching the youtube video telling you how to do it, and maybe a minute or two if you do know what you are doing. Save yourself some cash.

Great alternative to OEM model
Works great for my car. Really didn’t see a difference between these ones and the OEM ones. It provides good value with easy installation.
