Synopsis

USE THE RIGHT WORD!

What danger lurks in these word pairs?
who's/whose . . . affect/effect . . . your/you're

Or in these?
can/may ... fewer/less ... I/me ... who/whom?

Both groups are hazardous because they cause WRONG WORD ERRORS. The first group are homonyms, words that sound the same or almost the same but have different spellings and meanings. (How confusing is that!)

The second group consists of words that are misused so often that they sound correct.

DON'T BE A VICTIM!

The good news is that help is here. It's at your fingertips! Do you have a question about a confusing word pair? Just open USE THE RIGHT WORD. Tah-dah! The answer! It's EASY! It's FAST! It's ACCURATE! It's just what you're looking for.

Entry words are alphabetized and cross-referenced. PLUS, there's an index.
Each entry gives definitions, examples, and "More Examples," in the form of celebrity quotes (everyone from Mae West to Albert Einstein),
