Publisher's Synopsis
English, the world's most widely-used language, is also the most misused, and this series aims to help readers to enrich their powers of communication - in speech, writing, comprehension and general knowledge. Focusing on frequently misused and misleading words, this book provides more than a thousand examples and explains their correct usage. These examples include "hanged/hung", "gaff/gaffe", "lend/loan", "crotch/crutch", "try to/try and", "leading question", "begging the question" and "moot point".
