Rating: Summary: Needs to be E X P A N D E D Review: Good, useful information, but when I contacted the publisher to see if there was a revised edition, I hit a stone wall. No one wanted to admit that such a book existed; no one had any means of reaching the author.
I've penned in my own updates to Section VII. "Homonyms, Homophones, and Other Confusingly Similar Words":
caricature - distorted representation; character - distinguishing feature
compatible - existing in harmony; comparable - worthy of comparison; comparative - pertaining to comparison
envelop - to enclose completely; envelope - a wrapper, esp. the container for a letter
guarantee - an assurance of quality; guaranty - a security pledged in a guarantee
relic - momento, something venerated (esp. a saint); relict - something left unchanged in a process of change
therefor - in return for that; therefore - consequently, for that reason
unfeasible - not practical; infeasible - (there is no such word)
viscous - having a sticky consistency; vicious - addicted to vice, malicious; vicissitude - a change or succession
I'd definitely like to find a more up to date version!
