303 Dumb Spelling Misstakes (Sic)-- And What You Can Do about Them

I'm using this book with a person I'm tutoring and it's working out very well. Whenever we come across "abundance" I wiggle in my chair. We are both certain now about how it is spelled. This book is very helpful. The association of the clues are humorous, clever and successful in triggering the correct spelling of some difficult to spell words. My only complaint is that some of the words are dated; they have fallen out of general use. I would encourage Mr. Downing to go forward with a new and updated release. Cyber-communications have made us sloppy with spelling, grammar, and all instruments of polished writing. Perhaps the re-publication of this book would be a welcome to those who hunt & peck & link their way through and around the world. Anyway, it works for me and my student. I am older than 12. I'm 2 blocks from Borders and I'll see if I can get a second copy of it there tomorrow.
