A List of Words,
By
This review is from: Spell Check (Hardcover)
This book is an alphabetical list of 40,000 words. Each word is broken into syllables and shows which syllables are stressed.
When I do appearances, it is fun to take the group's name and make it into a humorous acronym. If you are trying to make a sentence out of the words that start with specific letters, this handy book will give you the ideas to create "Amazon - A - M - A - Z - O - N: Access Millions and Zillions of Novels". Small and compact, it fits easily into luggage when traveling. If you need a list of words that start with a specific letter, this is one compact way to achieve it.

Needed to Spell it correctly,

This review is from: Spell Check (Hardcover)
My job involves writing reports. I need to spell words correctly. This book is not a dictionary but the correct spelling of many words that you know what they mean, but are unsure of the spelling. I use this book and it is small enough to fit into my work case.
