アメリカ在住9年です。日頃業務で英文を山のように書いていますが、そこはネイティブでない悲しさ・・・アメリカ人から見ればおかしな文法や間違った単語の使い方もまだまだいっぱい。
そんな日本人でも楽しく使い方を間違えやすい単語を学べるという点で最近発売され人気の本書をお勧めします。
アメリカ人でも間違えてしまうという、
・見た目が似た単語（Farther vs Further、Affect vs Effect）
・使い分けに悩みそうな単語（Historic vs Historical)
・え、どっちがどっち？的単語（e.g. vs i.e.）
などの使い方を対比し明快に解説してくれてます。しかもアルファベット順に記載されているので辞書的にも使えます。
基礎的な単語もけっこう多く、全部が全部役に立つとは言いませんが、『目からウロコ』の内容もきっと見つかるはずです。『英単語に関した読み物』としても楽しめるのでは？
500円玉一枚で手に入る値段も魅力。もし本著が気に入れば、著者の女性は『Grammar Girl』（アメリカでは有名）として何冊か出版していますので、そちらも読んでみてください。

Grammar Girl strikes again!
2011/7/5
形式:ペーパーバック
Grammar Girl has a knack for putting the most useful information from dictionaries and style guides together into one fun-to-read place. I teach English and would love to require (or give) this book to each student (not to mention most of my friends and family members).
Even if you think you have a firm grasp on easily confused words (capital/capitol, hone/home, trooper/trouper), you might find that you're wrong. Grammar Girl gives enough background on the words to help you understand why the words are often confused and then even offers tips for how to prevent mixing them up again. (Take "trouper," for example. So many people spell it "trooper" when they mean "trouper," and Grammar Girl explains that the expression "What a trouper" comes from when an actor [a member of a troupe] nails a particularly tough role. That is why it should be "trouper," not "trooper" in that context. Neat, huh?)
Keep in mind that you can't count on spell and grammar check to catch these errors in usage, especially if the words mixed up are the same part of speech, so this small, handy book belongs in every writer's desk and every student's backpack. Parents, use this (and Grammar Girl's other Quick and Dirty Tips books, such as Grammar Girl's 101 Words Every High School Graduate Needs to Know) to quiz your kids at the dinner table. These books are small, inexpensive, fun, useful, and portable.

A Must Have Book for Everyone
2011/7/6
形式:ペーパーバック
This book helps readers solve the most common problems people make with word usage when both writing and communicating. In the introduction to her book, Fogarty addresses the reader by mentioning how English can be tricky to even the most advanced in the language.
After drawing the reader in with her introduction, Grammar Girl then dives right into her list of confusing words. On each page, Fogarty states two words that are regularly confused with each other. The use of quotes from modern television and movies make the terms more relatable to everyone. Shortly after distinguishing between each of the two words, a quick and dirty tip is located in a box at the bottom of the page that explains how Grammar Girl remembers when to use each of the two words discussed.
After the book has been read, it is sure to be used as a reference guide to keep in your library for quick reminders the next time someone is stuck on a word. Mignon Fogarty must have had this thought in her mind when writing this book because each of the words placed in alphabetical order through the book. This will make referencing trouble words easy in the future and this book a must have for anyone, beginner or advanced in the language, who never wants to confuse words again.

Awesome vs. Great!
2011/7/7
形式:ペーパーバック
Love this book! It was fun to learn about the background/origin of certain words. The examples are easy to relate to. And, the tips for remembering which word to use when are very effective. It shows that you care when you take the time to check your work and look things up. Grammar Girl makes that much easier now!
