A Primer in SF Linguistics. It's very, very funny, especially to sci-fi/fantasy geeks like me. It's also full of interesting facts. For instance, did you know that "aliens are obsessed with triangles, a particular shade of green, the number three, and the letter K because they learned everything they know from our TV broadcasts. To be more specific, from a particular episode of 'Sesame Street'"? Who knew Bigbird was so cosmically influential?!?
