Description
The New York Times Everyday Reader's Dicctionary of Misunderstood, Misused, Mispronounced Words
Author: Laurence Urdang, Editor
Hard cover with dust jacket, good condition.
Misunderstood, Misused, Mispronounced Words by Laurence Urdang is a reference book that explores the many ways words are incorrectly used, interpreted, or pronounced in the English language. Urdang, a noted lexicographer and former editor of the Random House Dictionary, examines common linguistic mistakes and explains the origins, correct meanings, and proper pronunciations of confusing words and expressions. Rather than simply listing errors, the book reveals how misunderstandings arise through changes in language, regional differences, historical accidents, and popular usage.
