What is Quite Literally : Problem Words and How to Use Them about?
Wynford Hicks provides some good advice in this book. I suspect that every reader will identify at least one 'problem word' and some readers will identify many more. Consider the difference between 'bate' (as in bated breath) and 'bait' (as in to set a trap). Or the distinction between 'fewer' and 'less' (fewer trees provide less wood). Not all of the usage advocated by Mr Hicks will be universally agreed. But if you are unsure or undecided, you could do far worse than adopt his suggestions. Highly recommended.
