Download or read book Dictionary of Confusable Words written by Adrian Room and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2000 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is directed at the Norm Crosby and Professor Irwin Corey in everyone. While the first confusing pair this reviewer looked up, inquire/Enquirer, was not to be found, and while most of the entries seem unconfusing to this rather-educated mind, perhaps this book will be of use to newer speakers of English and to those whose activities include little reading and writing. And, on the opposite side, the book might be consulted by the lexically meticulous, those worrying, for example, about using summary and synopsis as synonyms. A couple items of interest are paean/paeon, the first, a song of praise, the second a metrical unit of four syllables, and that furious foursome, perceptive/percipient/perspicacious/perspicuous which this reviewer leaves to the perspective to dessicate.

This book was released on 2016-08-14 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Words are neither effective nor ineffective; they just impart different meanings to the sentences in which they are used. It is the writer's effective use of words and phrases that makes sentences effective or ineffective. The English language is made up of nearly a million words and phrases. A writer, especially one whose English is not his or her first language, may face two major problems in writing: not knowing "enough" words; and not knowing how to choose the "right" words. Writing is made up of words. Effective writing requires having a good stock of vocabulary, as well as selecting the most suitable words and phrases to express the intended ideas. There are many English words and phrases that are frequently confused and misused by ESL learners. This book provides hundreds of those words and phrases with examples to show how they should be used correctly.

By the end of this book, every literati will be able to confidently, casually, and correctly toss in an “a priori” or a “limns” without hesitation.
