You�ll never again confuse affect and effect! Have you ever been fazed by the spelling of phased, or
fretted over the difference between anxiety and angst,
stationery and stationary? If so, you are not alone: the
English language is a minefield, full of words that look and
sound alike but mean different things in different places.
Who�s Whose? is an entertaining and essential A to Z guide
to the most commonly confused words in English today, with
real examples of good and bad usage to make differences
crystal clear. In addition to documenting these verbal
confusions, it offers a sympathetic guide to the seriousness
of each gaffe (the Embarassment rating), an explanation of
why it happens, and some handy hints on how to avoid it in
future. With Who�s Whose in your corner, you�ll never again
mistake a principle for a principal.
