Every writer needs help with words- choosing them, using them, spelling them correctly. When is optimal or optimum the better choice? Why use germane when relevant is, well, more relevant? Created for just such tortuous (torturous?) situations, this handy guide provides an A-to-Z listing of troublesome, confusing words, accompanied by clear examples and explanations to help avoid common mistakes. With a discussion on getting the most out of words, a helpful resource section, humorous illustrations, and clever bits of wordplay, this compact reference is an indispensable resource.

.

The latest addition to Jan Venolia's Right! series, which has sold more than 600,000 copies.

.

With the growing influence of email and other instant communication on the English language, a modern reference is more important than ever.

.

Small and portable, this book is easier to carry and to use than some of the larger, bulkier reference works.
