Have you been putting
bullion in your soup? Is incorrect spelling starting to have a negative
affect on your term papers? Do you wonder what someone is
inferring when they tell you to pick up a dictionary? These are just a few of the commonly misunderstood words discussed and explained in
Abused, Confused, and Misused Words, an entertaining and informative look at the ever-changing nature of the English language. An alphabetical list of words that are frequently misspelled or misused is accompanied by a style guide to usage rules that tells you how and why they can be broken. Also included is a collection of 1,000 new and inventive words, and nearly 30,000 more words are discussed in a section dealing with word roots and how they are used in modern language. Anyone who is intrigued by language, who is fascinated by words, or who simply wants to use our language clearly and effectively will enjoy this delightful, eye-opening collection.
