Words That Make You Go, "Hmm..." - Paperback

by Lee M. Walker (Author)

This handy, lightweight, up-to-date reference book is a valuable tool to those who frequently work with words such as court reporters, writers, editors, and students. Small and mighty, this book holds 196 pages and packs over 10,000 words in its 8.5-inch by 5.5-inch frame. Is it one word, two words, hyphenated? Just take a look inside and you will find out which of those you need for your particular usage. Two well-respected dictionaries were used to create this one-stop resource. The main entries in the book are derived from Merriam-Webster (2010) and the secondary entries from American Heritage (2013) to bring you the current spelling and parts of speech. Words change over time, and it is crucial to your work at hand that you stay current when it comes to resource material. It is our belief here at Walker House Publishing that resources more than five years old by its publication date are serving little to no value. Make an investment in yourself!
