Book excerpt: Now in its 2nd edition, this fresh word choice guide features 390+ pesky pairings whose meanings are conveyed at a glance (or is it a glimpse?). It lets you quickly answer questions such as: * Should you use "fewer" or "less" when counting things? * When is "that" used instead of "which" in a sentence? * Can "famous" and "notorious" be interchanged? * Do "convince" and "persuade" mean the same thing? With this reference at hand, you won't ever embarrass yourself or confuse your readers again. So don't waste (or is it waist?) time wondering which word is best. Word Trippers makes it easy to choose the perfect word when it really matters!
