if you’re like me, meaning that you print, proof and red-pen your serious writing with a freakish fixation on tightening it all up by sporting some kinda mental corset (though i personally could use a gusset), then you no doubt: A) already get the dictionary.com word of the day, B) read ‘news of the word‘ at least once every 2 days, C) probably spend a lotta time at paul mcfedries website, D) pick up the ny times every sunday and skip immediately to william safire’s column in the magazine, E) also get word of the day from the oxford english dictionary and F) still sit there sometimes wondering if you could actually get killed falling into a gorge...or is it a ravine?..or a canyon?

sweat no more, babycakes… say “buh-bye” to those confusing words with confusingwords.com from david clark and richard wanderman (and anne!), who built this thing from nothing, like macgyver! …from the site: “Confusing Words is a collection of 3210 words that are troublesome to readers and writers. Words are grouped according to the way they are most often confused or misused. Some of these words are homonyms (words that sound alike but are spelled differently) and some are just commonly confused.” …and a link for those who don’t care about malapropisms (lest we should all talk ragtime)
