Selecting the right word when you write helps you communicate clearly. Many words in the English language can be mixed-up with another word that sounds like or looks similar, such as adapt and adept or affect and effect. I have listed a few of these troublesome words, what they mean, and how to use them correctky in a sentence: this list of definations, however, can not replace your dictionary.

I hope this book will benefit those who wish to speak and write proper and effective English.
