It's the only book that includes commonly misspelled words and a comprehensive usage guide in one handy volume. Featured are 7,000 of the most commonly misspelled words with their incorrect and correct spellings and a guide to demystifying homophones ("cite" vs. "site"), grammatically troublesome words ("can" vs. "may"), and subtly different words ("imply" vs. "infer").
