| Choose the Right Word: Second Edition by Collins Useful Reference |
| This book is a very helpful reference. If someone has writer's block, this book will get them moving forward again. It contains many frequently used (and some less frequently used) words and, unlike thesauruses, gives information about words/synonyms so that the most appropriate one can be discovered. The index in the back of the book helps to find the page the word is on. I have quite a few thesaurus-like books and this one I use most often. |
| Choose the Right Word: Second Edition by Collins It's a Diction-thesaurus-ary! (And more.) |
| Look up a word. You will find a list of synonymns. You'll find a definition and correct useage guide for each of the synonyms. And, if the word has antonyms, you'll find those as well. This book is a must for students and writers. |
| Choose the Right Word: Second Edition by Collins great book for choosing between synonyms |
| No two words are perfect synonyms. They come from different origins; they evoke different emotional images. Professor/Senator Hayakawa provides excellent guidance on how to choose between similar words. I read an earlier version of this book with a different title. |
| Choose the Right Word: Second Edition by Collins Excellent |
| Best book if you like to know the distinction of the words. |
| Choose the Right Word: Second Edition by Collins choose the right word |
| This is a very good book on the choice of word when we are writing. I especially found it useful when I am writing on performance appraisal and recommendation for my subordinates. The book explain the meaning of each word among a group of words with similar meaning. You can just pick up the word exactly appropriate to describe a person or situation. I highly recommend this book to you if you also have the problems in choosing the right word while you are writing. |
