It will help many others too, including business people who need to write clear and succinct letters, memos, and reports, and ESL students who need to improve their command of English. Anyone who needs to think twice about the difference between adapt and adopt or immunity and impunity will profit from this easy-to-understand book. It defines and discusses approximately 1,500 tricky and often-confused words and phrases, and shows how to use them all correctly.
