Man, it's kinda fun playing a meanie for once [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] !

I was given a book today from a friend that he got at the book fair:

The New York Times: Dictionary of Misunderstood, Misused & Mispronounced Words.

Full of:

A) Words we know until someone asks us what they mean.
B) Words we never seem to use correctly
C) Words we can pronounce but not spell (or spell but not pronounce)
D) Words we understand when we read them but not when we hear them (or vice versa)

It's pretty cool. Helps with writing posts for the "Great Scribe of Gondor" everyone is annoyed with at the moment. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
