American ed. published under title: The New York times everyday reader's dictionary of misunderstood, misused, and mispronounced words.

This type of dictionary contains what must be a selection based on personal choice; it doesn't pretend to contain every word that people are likely to misunderstand, misuse, or mispronounce. Some of the words have been chosen because they have appeared in popular newspapers and magazines, whilst some have been included because their meanings are readily applied in ordinary writing and speaking.
