Word Smart II
- The word “noisome” has nothing whatsoever to do with noise?
- “Ordinance” and “ordnance” have two distinct meanings?
- An “errant” fool is a fool who is lost, while an “arrant” fool is one whose foolishness is obvious?
If any of these facts caught you by surprise, then you need Word Smart II. More than one million people have improved their vocabularies with the original Word Smart, but an educated and powerful vocabulary doesn’t stop growing with one book. All of the 1,455 words featured in Word Smart II belong in an impressive vocabulary. Learning and using these words effectively can help you get better grades, score higher on tests, and communicate more confidently at work.

Fifteen Thousand Useful Phrases

A practical handbook of expressions for the improvement of the vocabulary of those who read, write, and speak English.
About the Author
American writer, Grenville Kleiser (1868-1953), is best known for his writings on humor, inspiration and positive thinking. Besides Fifteen Thousand Useful Phrases, he authored Model Speeches for Practice, Successful Methods of Public Speaking, The Training of a Public Speaker, and others, all now published by PDQ Press. Kleiser is quoted nearly as often as Mark Twain thanks to his wit and insight Good humor is a tonic for mind and body. It is the best antidote for anxiety and depression. It is a business asset. It attracts and keeps friends. It lightens human burdens. It is the direct route to serenity and contentment. To every problem there is already a solution whether you know it or not. It is often better to have a great deal of harm happen to one than a little; a great deal may rouse you to remove what a little will only accustom you to endure
