Did you know that the word noisome has nothing to do with noise? Or that ordinance and ordnance have two different meanings? Or an errant fool is a fool who is lost, while an arrant fool is one whose foolishness is obvious? If any of these facts caught you by surprise, you need Word Smart II. It takes up where Word Smart leaves off--with more important words you need to succeed in school and at work. And because this is an audiobook, you won't have to wonder about correct pronunciation or embarrass yourself when you try to impress others with your growing mental lexicon. Concise, accurate definitions, great examples and stories that teach words in context, mnemonics to make it all stick. 5 CDs.
