Write up for the back cover and brochure: When an Indian decides to settle down in America, does he 'emigrate' or 'immigrate' to that country? What is the difference between 'it’s' and 'its'? Should you refer to your fellow co-worker as 'my elder colleague' or 'my older colleague'? Words Frequently Confused, the second volume in the four volume series, Know Your English, clears doubts such as these. Like the first volume, Idioms and their Stories, this book is based on S. Upendran's popular weekly column, Know Your English, published in The Hindu. It contains a selection of about 480 pairs of words that are frequently confused. Each entry gives the meaning of the words and points out the difference between them. Examples are also provided showing how the words can be used in everyday contexts. Some of the entries also contain information about the pronunciation and the etymology (origin) of the word.
