Title: words!

Review: I got a digital copy of the book from NetGalley, but liked it so much so I had to buy a paper copy for myself. As an English learner, I struggle sometimes with words that sound similar but might mean different things, or with words that both mean similar things but used in different places or ways. The book has those words grouped together, and it explains the difference in meaning and usage. The articles are short and easy to read, and they do get the job done very well. It is fun to read. I just pick it up whenever I have a few minutes and read a page or two. It is fun, and it helps.

Title: Great for determining shades of meaning🙂

Review: As a word geek, I'm enjoying this book as much and more than I expected. I'm always curious about the fine line distinction between the meanings of words. While I understand much of one's vocabulary is learned by determining the meaning of a word by the context of a sentence, to be able to dissect the meaning down to the gnat's eyelash is a particular delight for me. This book is great for that, even more fun than reading a dictionary😉.

Review: A great reference book. Written in a easy readable style that is unfortunately not too sticky though, as I can never seem to remember the contents long enough to repeat
Keep it around, though. It is a reliable source for writing or entertaining.

Review: I liked this book and if you're a writer this would be a fun desk reference, or even just to flip through and read a few random entries.
What it would be useful for is if you are writing something and had a question of yourself that you weren't too sure about - the difference between fate and destiny in other words. Like you think you know, but you're not sure. So this would be a way to have a clarification with more thought and creativity than a standard dictionary entry.
As somebody who writes, I run into this now and then. So I like the ability to think about these differences of word choices in a this detailed way. Plus, I liked the writing style of the book and it was fun just to read the various observations.
The negative about the book is there's no easy way to predict if a question can be answered. There's no table of contents, and while the words are alphabetically listed, you won't know if the book can help until you run into the problem and then check, and then hope the information is there. But if you're a writer, this is never going to be a flat-out unhelpful reference, but you just won't know until you get there.
I would recommend it to anybody who enjoys thinking about word choices, or better writing, or maybe a student in creative writing courses who wants to take writing more seriously but isn't sure how. This would be a good inspiration.

Title: An excellent fate (or is it destiny?) for this book
Date: Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2018
Review: Long before personal computers hit the scene, one of my favorite pastimes as a child was hanging out at the library and reading dictionaries. I was the secret nerd girl folded into a faraway corner. I came out of the closet in my 20s and, in fact, have been a proud nerd and an even prouder bookworm ever since. It comes as no surprise that I’ve spent most of my life as a proofreader, editor and writer. As far as I’m concerned, a grammatical slip is far worse than a Freudian slip or many other slip ups in life. In order to hold my Grammar Nazi status, an updated library of reference resources on grammar and usage fill my arsenal. My latest acquisition is How to Tell Fate from Destiny: And Other Skillful Word Distinctions by Charles Harrington Elster, an accomplished wordsmith and master of the English language.
The book’s title is on point. This is a handy and comprehensive reference that differentiates and explains the meaning of confusing words. In fact, before I pored over each page for review purposes, I had an immediate question about the usage of “continuous” and “continual.” I commonly need clarification about those two close-sounding words and mystery solved. Or is it an enigma solved? I looked up “enigma” and “mystery”on the internet since they are not included in Mr. Elster’s book. Of course, it would be impossible to cover every confusing word in his volume, but the author performs an extensive feat. For easy reference, each word entry is alphabetically categorized, and a thorough index is also provided as a quick reference guide.
Though I would have liked to see a few more suggestions in terms of how to remember word usages, the book is fun to read. For instance on page 277: “Bombastic suggests pomposity and pretentiousness that masks a lack of substance; the bombastic person speaks in a verbose and self-important way, but says little or nothing of importance.”
Is that word pertinent in today’s world, or what? In fact, when I watch the news, I’ll be able to utter my feelings completely: “Bombastic!”
I can expatiate easily on the book and present some other fun examples, and I will … “I, me” for instance on page 158. The author nearly writes two pages on those two words, and here is my favorite paragraph because it hits home: “As those young people grew older, they developed a phobia about me and began substituting I for it in constructions like for you and I and falling into real error by bending over backward to avoid an imagined one. And this hypercorrection is extremely common among educated people, who apparently think it’s infra dig to use the objective pronoun me. Indeed, it takes some presumed refinement to make this over-educated mistake.”
What can I add? This time, I’ll spare readers from further helpings of alphabet soup and grammarian inspection. As far as I’m concerned, I hope I never grow out of the “hankering for linguistics” stage.
