Is That Even a Word?

Yes, we all have been there: not sure which word to use, which makes sense, or if the word in questions is even really a word. And if Google can't tell you, who can? Dave Dowling, that's who. His new dictionary, The wrong Word Dictionary: 2,000 most commonly confused words is an excellent resource for anyone struggling with their vocabulary, grammer, or English in general. A smattering of cartoon illustrations add comical examples of how the word is commonly being misused, and a sample sentence with the correct word usage makes sure you never sound dumb again! So check this book out, and the next time your friend is having trouble with 'accept' and 'except,' you can set them straight. Now aren't you smart!
