Homophones and Homographs: An American Dictionary Ed 4

James B. Hobbs, "Homophones and Homographs: An American Dictionary Ed 4"
English | ISBN: 0786424885 | 2006 | 360 pages | PDF | 7 MB

This expanded fourth edition defines and cross-references 9,040 homophones and 2,133 homographs (up from 7,870 and 1,554 in the 3rd ed.). As the most comprehensive compilation of American homophones (words that sound alike) and homographs (look-alikes), this latest edition serves well where even the most modern spell-checkers and word processors fail—although rain, reign, and rein may be spelled correctly, the context in which these words may appropriately be used is not obvious to a computer.
