5.0 out of 5 stars
Good advice for writers,
By J. Cameron-Smith "Expect the Unexpected" (ACT, Australia) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Quite Literally: Problem Words and How to use Them (Hardcover)
Wynford Hicks provides some good advice in this book. I suspect that every reader will identify at least one 'problem word' and some readers will identify many more.
Consider the difference between 'bate' (as in bated breath) and 'bait' (as in to set a trap). Or the distinction between 'fewer' and 'less' (fewer trees provide less wood). Not all of the usage advocated by Mr Hicks will be universally agreed. But if you are unsure or undecided, you could do far worse than adopt his suggestions. Highly recommended.
