About this title

Synopsis

NTC's Dictionary of Tricky Words will help you master confusing words and their usage. This easy-to-use reference focuses on three major classes of complicated words: Words that are pronounced alike but are different in spelling, meaning or both, such as sail and sale; or gilt and guilt; words that are troublesome because of the grammatical rules governing their use, such as can and may; or shall and will; and words that are similar in meaning and form yet have subtle differences in definition, such as infer and imply; or disinterested and uninterested.
Each entry gives you a definition, a pronunciation guide, and an example sentence. NTC's Dictionary of Tricky Words is designed to help you sharpen your skills in personal, business, or professional writing.
