Read this book is a good way to differentiate omonyms and words which have overlap in meaning.

As I am currently reading and gaining my knowledge on the words that we commonly use in everyday English language writing, the book status is "to be rated". Still, I wanted to mention to those of you who are seeking to improve their writing communications skill that this is the book to check out. I was surprised that people get confused about words like advice/ advise and device/devise. It is not easy to perfect a language especially if you are not its native speaker. Give this book a through read and you might want to keep it as a "English word check dictionary".
