Good spelling is fundamental to making the right impression with
any type of writing; reports, homework, CVs, and letters all
require correct spelling in order to get the message across in
clear and straightforward English. Adaptable or adaptible? Definite
or definate? Delirious or delireous? What is the difference between
assent and ascent, dual and duel, or forbear and forebear? How do
you make the plural of halo? Is it halos or haloes? Actually it's
both, but not so for potato, the plural of which is potatoes.
Knowing the difference between easily confusable words, making
plurals, and adding endings are just some of the aspects of
spelling that confront us with endless pitfalls. This easy-to-use
A-Z guide does what no spellchecker can do: it gives immediate
access not only to individual word spellings but also to general
rules that will help you develop good spelling. The book covers the
topics in simple and helpful terms and also offers advice on how to
use apostrophes and hyphens, and the differences between British
and American spelling. The core of the book is a list of over 2,000
words laid out for quick and easy reference. Based on evidence of
misspelling gathered from real situations, this guide is the most
useful and comprehensive help on spelling available. This edition
makes the benefits of the material explicit to the general reader:
clear organization of the supplementary features, simple and
transparent design, and clearly written rules. One of a mini-series
of titles on spelling, grammar and punctuation, and usage.
