Download or read book The Broadview Book of Common Errors in English Fifth Edition written by Don LePan and published by Broadview Press. This book was released on 2003-04-17 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Broadview Book of Common Errors in English offers full coverage of such common mistakes as commas splices, sentence fragments, words frequently confused, words frequently misspelled, mixed metaphors, and subject-verb agreement errors. In each case the problem is clearly explained, with examples illustrating both the nature of the trouble and how to put it right. Unlike many guides to grammar and usage, The Broadview Book refrains from dogmatism; it treats correctness in English not as an unchanging objective standard laden with moral overtones, but rather as a code of convenience that is extraordinarily useful in helping humans to communicate effectively and even elegantly. It thus retains an openness to the inevitable process of change in the English language, and recognizes that change does not imply debasement. The fifth edition has been updated throughout, and includes new material on capitalization; on the connections between clear writing and clear arguments; on academic citation systems; on business writing; and on particular difficulties experienced by those whose first language is not English.
Download or read book Problem Words in English written by Andrew Rossiter and published by . This book was released on 2020-07-21 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks in detail at over fifty of the most frequently used words in English, words whose frequency itself and whose multiple meanings and usages mean that they are a constant source of problems and mistakes for learners of English and in many cases for native speakers too. ... These are some of the vital keywords of English, words that are so easy to use, but also to misuse and to confuse. With the help of hundreds of clear examples, this book clearly explains their different meanings and different uses, pointing out some of the most frequent errors and difficulties. ... It is an often-ignored fact of language learning from intermediate level upwards, that ensuring or improving fluency in English is not so much a question of acquiring more and more vocabulary, but of better mastering the multiple uses and complexities of the essential words that have already been learned. Unfortunately many of the most common short everyday words of English are among those whose usage is hardest to fully master.... Most of the "problem words" looked at in this book are not just words that feature among those that are "learned" at an early stage; they are far more important than that. Nine of the words - including that, as, do, all, there and their - are actually among the 50 most frequently used words in English; almost all the rest appear in the list of the 500 most commonly used words in English - the vital words that constitute the hard core of all communication in the English language.... Linguists generally agree that fluency in everyday English at home at work or for travel can be attained with a command of between just 2000 and 3000 words. This small corpus of essential or common words makes up 90% of the language used for everyday communication. Beyond these 3000 words, new vocabulary acquired mainly consists of words for special purposes or circumstantial use, the vocabulary of the workplace, or specific interests, or local situations, including many words that one may encounter by chance one day, and rarely, if ever, hear of again. ... But however many different words one learns in English - sophisticated words, erudite terms, technical words and countless synonyms - the most vital requirement of all, more important than acquiring new vocabulary, remains to fully master the uses and meanings of the words that make up the basic corpus of everyday communication in English.
