Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book encapsulates the meanings and proper usage of the words that form the body of the English language, with a concise definition provided for each word. It presents a standardized vocabulary, with words ranging from the most basic to the more complex technical terms. The author has attempted to compile a volume that will assist students and professionals alike in bridging gaps in their language acquisition, with particular attention paid to clarifying the etymologies and pronunciations of words. The author's main objective is to provide a tailored approach to addressing the various discrepancies that exist between English books, which often include nonstandard spelling, punctuation, and definitions. The author places particular emphasis on those words whose derivations and meanings are often misconstrued, owing in part to decades of what the author views as simple authorial negligence. This book will therefore serve as an indispensable and comprehensive resource for standardizing the English language.
