Reminds me of Anguished English, first published in 1989, apparently, with a few sequels/related texts since. Some of the funniest stuff I've read. I highly recommend them.
Ugh. This was funniest when I believed the lie. Way to be, tickld.com! Anyway, if you like the idea, check out Anguished English: An Anthology of Accidental Assualts Upon Our Language by Richard Lederer.
Seems to be cribbed from a book called "Anguished English" that my middle school teachers read to me ~10 years ago. That book is almost certainly a fake, by the way. "Sir Francis Drake circumcised the world with a 100 foot clipper" is just a bit too coincidental, don'tcha think?
