Rhetorics & Prosody is a book aimed at creating effective speakers and leaders by helping readers to improve their language. This book provides a comprehensive study of figure of speech which is necessary for a better understanding of the language and literature. 
Lingual arrogance does not exist only in being grammar-Nazi. It is reflected in negligence towards language too. People often seem to ignore their linguistic deficiencies. In other words, they do not give much weightage to the accuracy of their language as they often say that people understand what they meant, which is enough for them.
