Description: 1 online resource (226 pages)
Word Savvy helps writers of all sorts--authors, professionals, students, editors and proofreaders, job applicants, teachers, etc.--recognize and avoid the most common yet crucial word-usage problems. The fact of the matter is a person's writing often impacts how others perceive them. Faulty word choices can suggest to an employer, teacher, or publisher the writer is unprofessional, uneducated, or just plain lazy. Luckily, the reverse is also true: choosing the correct word can make you seem smart, professional, and trustworthy. Word Savvy is a handy reference that strikes at the source of a writ.
