Room's dictionary of confusibles - Adrian Room
KORTE INHOUD
This is a new-style dictionary that sorts out those annoying words, alike in sound and related in meaning, that so frequently get misused and confused, such as "brusque" and "brisk", "baroque" and "rococo", "notable" and "noticeable". Covering a wide range of words from the exotic "mufti" and "mahdi" to the homely "crimplene" and "terylene", from "strepitous" to slangish "kinky" and "kooky", Room's Dictionary of Confusibles lists over 1600 words, also giving examples of their correct, and sometimes incorrect, usage and, in many cases, an explanation of their origin
