Anyone who writes, should have on hand, at all times, a handy little book published by Houghton Mifflin from the editors of the American Heritage® Dictionaries.  The title is 100 Words Almost Everyone Confuses & Misuses.  It’s a great help.

     Even the best of us have confused or misused certain words on occasion.  This book is a life raft on the seas of uncertainty. 

     As writers, we should always present our best efforts to our readers.
