This small, (relatively) cheap book packs a passel of help (and some giggles) into its pages. Written by a \"non-expert\" The Word Book from Writers.com offers a fresh perspective, practical savvy, and occasional sass as it sorts out some misunderstandings and common confusions of the English language. The Word Book answers simple questions (is it discreet? or discrete? sensual or sensuous? ) succinctly, often with examples drawn from amusing, profound, or just plain strange quotations the famous, not-so-famous, and infamous past and present. Other answers go a step further -- and occasionally right over the edge -- with entertaining forays into the quirks and fascinations of English. * Find out the truth about duct tape * Ponder the problems of pablum * Get to the ground floor of Ground Zero * Discover more than you thought possible about amuck * When was the phrase wreak havoc was first used? * Learn why Star Trek weapons were dubbed phasers * Are you titillated or titivated? * And, of course, more\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paula Guran\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Writers.com Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.96h x 6.20w x 0.47d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780974290706\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2004 pg. 136\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Writers.com Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40512787415155,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":18.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_82d96e72-1622-4946-81b1-4be4d9bd394a.jpg?v=1665667585","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/the-word-book-from-writerscom-9780974290706","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
