Book Reviews of Words You Thought You Knew: 1001 Commonly Misused and Misunderstood Words and Phrases

Book Review: Absolute Necessity!
Summary: 5 Stars

This little book is truly an absolute Must Have. After getting one for myself, I have been giving them away to anyone who "abuses", albeit ignorantly, the English language. One of my beefs lately is with my Mom and Brother - both mistakenly use "anxious" for "eager" among so many others.

It's cheap to own, and makes a really great EDUCATIONAL gift to give away to anyone and everyone on any holiday, birthday, or just a learning tip kind of day, etc.

I very highly recommend this little but oh so important book to everyone wanting to clean up their English language to save yourself and others from blatant ignorance when speaking or writing.

Have a really great educational journey!
