The little book of big words and how to use them - Andy Hughes

This book was written for all those people who: would like to sound more intelligent and feel that a smattering of 'big words' will help fool everyone into thinking they are; or wish they knew some bigger words to impress their boss when asking for a rise; or want to extend their working vocabulary, maybe land a better job, or are trying to impress those critical in-laws; or just love words! It is easy to look up a word in the dictionary, but knowing how to use it is a different matter altogether. "The Little Book of Big Words" solves that problem by explaining and illustrating the use of each word in a simple, straightforward and sometimes humorous way.
