5.0 out of 5 stars problematic words and expressions, December 9, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
If you are searching for a dictionary of idiomatic words and expressions, or of words with diverse spellings and meanings in various contexts, you can't do better than this superb reference. Though dated, this extraordinary work is an indispensible source of English terminology. I tutor doctoral-level ESL students and purchased hardcover copies for each of them. I also purchased a copy for myself (I've used my paperback copy for decades). Highly recommended for all students, writers, and those who want to expand their understanding of terms insufficiently detailed in a standard-format dictionary.
