The difference between the right word and the almost-right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug.  —Mark Twain

Using the wrong word in a document can hurt your image as badly as wearing different-colored shoes to a job interview. And there’s often a big deviation in small shades of meaning.

Many words in our language have multiple meanings, and many are similar; we have words that sound the same but are spelled differently and mean different things (homonyms); and some words are just easier to say than the proper ones.

Should you use a or an? accept or except? advise, advice or inform? allude or elude, anybody or any body?

This small book will help you say, or write, exactly what you mean so you won't confuse your readers.

A synonym is a word you
use when you can't spell the
other one.  —Baltasar Gracián

Why should we be so careful with our spelling? Because correct spelling is one of the marks of an educated, efficient and detail-oriented individual. And because misspelling one word can create a new word that means something entirely different (like prescribe, which means recommend, and proscribe, which means forbid). For those reasons alone, you shouldn’t permit yourself to misspell words even in your personal correspondence or e-mails.

Misspellings frequently occur because words are not spelled as they sound. Fewer errors would be made if, for instance, the correct spelling of alphabet were alfabet and temperament were spelled temperment. However, since tricky spellings are an integral part of the English language, we just have to learn to recognize and cope with them. This book covers most of the words you use in everyday writing.

How to Provide Excellent Service in any Organization

 

Since everyone talks about it, why is service still so horrible? Because, if organizations do anything at all to improve service, they start at the wrong place. They try to "fix" the people at the front line without fixing anything else in the organization.

This never works!

 

This book examines why service is so poor in so many organizations and gives managers practical, usable ideas to improve service.  The seven sections of the book cover:

  • Why Service Is So Important
  • Why Service Is Bad
  • A Blueprint For Improving Service
  • How To Improve Service In Your Organization
  • Good News, Bad News: 13 Real-Life Examples
  • Improving Service In Nonprofits
  • Providing Service During And After A Reorganization
