Why did this book become a bestseller already in its first edition, cause loud debates and be read with equal enthusiasm by educated, not so educated and, let's face it, simply illiterate people? Science cannot answer this question. Read and see for yourself. The world around us is changing rapidly, and language is changing along with it. Who among us does not use new words, and who at the same time does not wince, noticing them in the speech of the interlocutor? Borrowings, jargon, swearing - which are no longer possible - infuriate us and, most importantly, give reason for constant grumbling. Who does not like to talk about the corruption of language, and after a hearty dinner even about its death? Professor K., having suffered from a split personality, forgivable in our time, and alternately taking the position of an irritated philistine, then a cold-blooded linguist, energetically enters into the conversation. It should be read calmly, restraining emotions. After reading, decisively throw the book away and answer the main question. Who - the Russian language or ourselves - is on the verge of a nervous breakdown?
