Review

"If you're among those who are impelled (not compelled) toward correct usage, or someone for whom the choice of "can" or "may" matters a great deal, or a person who waited on tenterhooks while the Centers for Disease Control decided if the swine flu outbreak was an epidemic or a pandemic, then this is a perfect book to dip into."

Publisher's note

An intriguing word reference explores the fine nuances of the English language as it examines the subtle differences in meaning and usage of words that are frequently used interchangeably, including nectar and ambrosia, bough and branch, astonished and surprised, or beside and besides. Original.

aThe difference between the almost right word and the right word is really a large matter.a (Mark Twain)
Whatas the difference between:
Nectar and ambrosia? Bough and branch? Astonished and surprised? Sensual and sensuous? Beside and besides?
Many people use these words interchangeably but there are actually subtle and interesting differences in meaning and usage. Now from the author of "Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge" comes a fun and fascinating word reference book for word lovers, students, and trivia collectors alike. Readers will relish learning about these distinctions in this entertaining homage to a gift we use every dayawords.
