Beschreibung

Fiske aims to eliminate laxity in language by way of this witty and engaging reference. He also illustrates why dictionaries don't always provide the correct meaning or usage of a word. With concise instruction and numerous examples of misused words, this comprehensive dictionary of common misusages lays bare the mistakes that are made every day.
