Anyone intrigued by language, fascinated with words, or wanting to communicate clearly and correctly will find this reference a valuable tool. As entertaining as it is informative, this book addresses the ever-changing nature of words and their meanings. Embree provides useful lists, definitions, and examples of words as well as accessible summaries on grammar basics, covering topics such as:

• Word roots
• Common grammar mix-ups and how to correct them
• Frequently misspelled words
