Summary: I'm wondering...
Comment: .. how many of our American friends will learn that 'aluminium' is pronounced as it is written (a-lew-min-ee-um) - rather than 'aluminum' (a-loo-min-um).

Summary: Excellent work
Comment: I have to say - when I found this book lying around at my parents' place, I never thought I'd pick it up and start reading it. I mean, it's a dictionary for goodness sake! But when I got stuck looking up a word that didn't appear in my regular dictionary, I picked up this little oddity. And trust me, oddity is the right word.
This book had some of the strangest words I'd ever seen, right alongside words I used every day. Luckily, for most of the words I already knew in there, I was using them correctly, but every once in a while I would find something that I'd used often, but used completely incorrectly! The title is definitely not a misnomer.
It's a scary thought, but once I started searching through this thing, I found that I could not put it down. It's a load of fun using it for Balderdash words, and it really is quite informative. If you're stuck on an essay and need a few synonyms, or you just want to make George Orwell turn over in his grave, this book is a must-have.
Honestly, it's a first-rate piece of work!
