The Dictionary of Disagreeable English: A Curmudgeon’s Compendium of Excruciatingly Correct Grammar (2005) is a reference book by Robert Hartwell Fiske, an American writer, editor, and language critic often described as a “modern-day Fowler.”

This book is a mix of dictionary, usage guide, and witty commentary. Fiske lists words and expressions that are often misused, overused, or otherwise abused in English, and then explains why they are problematic. Unlike a traditional neutral dictionary, his approach is unapologetically opinionated—sometimes even sharp or “disagreeable,” as the title suggests.
