Beschreibung

If you have trouble distinguishing the verbs imitate and emulate, the relative pronouns that and which, or the adjectives pliant, pliable, and supple, never fear—How to Tell Fate from Destiny is here to help! With more than 500 headwords, the book is replete with advice on how to differentiate commonly confused words and steer clear of verbal trouble.

Whether you’re a boomer, a Gen-Xer, or a millennial, if you peruse, browse, or even skim these spindrift pages you will (not shall) become versed in the fine art of differentiation. You will learn, for example,

how to tell whether you suffer from pride, vanity, or hubris
how to tell whether you’re contagious or infectious
how to tell if you’re pitiful or pitiable
how to tell if you’re self-centered or self-absorbed
how to live an ethical life in a moral universe
