Riassunto:
This unique blend of thesaurus, dictionary, and manual of English usage defines, compares, and contrasts words of similar but not identical meaning—such as "infer" and "imply." More than 6,000 synonyms are included.
Product Description: This guide to American English contains synonyms for more than 6000 commonly-used words and - unlike a thesaurus - provides definitions, explains subtle nuances, and includes numerous examples to ensure the readers use the word correctly. Words that are used almost interchangeably today, such as imply and infer are pointed out specifically as "confused-pair entries" and their differences are explained. Slang terms, idioms and antonyms are found in most of the entries. It helps people express their thoughts clearly, accurately and confidently. Eugene Ehrlich is a co-editor of the "Oxford American Dictionary".
