These links were put together by professed verbivore-humorist, Richard Lederer, who after his years at St. Paul's School compiled that hilarious collection of student bloopers, "The World According To.."
Check it out, everyone. Lederer is actually a real PhD-credentialled linguistics scholar, as well as a humorist. He lists many excellent, heretofore-unbeknownst-to-me sites. (Lather the Punster will find quite a few of them well-geared to accommodating his perverse taste in language: puns, malapropisms, spoonerisms, oxymorons galore!)
See also Lederer's short list of recommended books ("Tools of the Trade"), as well as his own syndicated language columns, which can all be accessed from his home page:
