Need word help right now?

It’s or its? Bought or brought? Complement or compliment? When there are two ways of spelling a word, sometimes even spellcheck gives up. But help is at hand – Pernickety Kate’s new book is almost as good as having a proofreader permanently on standby.

Wrong Words and How to Right Them covers the most common confusing words in direct, quirky style (no grammar knowledge needed). There are Quick Fix tips for when you’re in a hurry, plus more detailed explanations and loads of examples for deeper knowledge and understanding. All this, and quizzes too!

It’s only £6.95, available here.
