Product Description:
The 100 Words series continues to set the standard for measuring and improving vocabulary, with a new title focusing on words that are best known for getting people into linguistic trouble. 100 Words Almost Everyone Confuses and Misuses is the perfect book for anyone seeking clear and sensible guidance on avoiding the recognized pitfalls of the English language.
Each word on the list is accompanied by a concise and authoritative usage note based on the renowned usage program of the American Heritage® Dictionaries. These notes discuss why a particular usage has been criticized and explain the rules and conventions that determine what's right, what's wrong, and what falls in between. Troublesome pairs such as affect / effect, blatant / flagrant, and disinterested / uninterested are disentangled, as are vexing sound-alikes such as discrete / discreet and principal / principle. Other notes tackle such classic irritants as hopefully, impact, and aggravate, as well as problematic words like peruse and presently.
A great graduation gift or stocking stuffer for anyone who cares about language, 100 Words Almost Everyone Confuses and Misuses is guaranteed to help keep writers and speakers on the up-and-up!

- Fun to flip through
This is cute book that is fun to flip through and keep with your dictionary. It is essentially just a small dictionary and beyond definitions doesn't go into detail on entomology.

Naturally, we want to protect ourselves from the same fate, and here's where the editors of the American Heritage Dictionaries have helped us out.
100 words are here, from adverse to zoology. All will be familiar, but not all will be known. Troubling words, like 'discreet' and 'discrete,' are ... Read More
Rating: - I got 88 Words almost everyone confuses & misuses
Before mailing my book to me, someone took the liberty of making the book shorter by detaching a few pages from the spine. Oh well. It's a good toilet reader. If you already have a strong English background then you probably won't benefit much from what this has to offer. There were very few words I came across that I confuse or misuse; irregardless was one of them.

- Words Some People Confuse
Not for advanced readers. This is pretty rudimentary stuff and is really for someone who doesn't read or write much. Price and format are both good. Might be a good gift for a high school student who is daunted by English courses.

- 100 Words Almost Everyone Confuses
An excellent introduction to commonly misused words. Although
basic, the book could be a useful tool for the average speaker
and writer of English.
