Description

The Ultimate Guide to Powerful Language. If you’ve ever fumbled while trying to use a big word to impress a crowd, you know what it’s like to be poorly spoken. The fear of mispronouncing or misusing complex words is real and leaves many of us consigned to the lower levels of the English Language. The secret to eloquence, however, lies in simplicity—the ability to use ordinary words in extraordinary ways. The Well-Spoken Thesaurus is your guide to eloquence, replacing the ordinary with the extraordinary. While a common thesaurus provides only synonyms as mere word-for-word equivalents, The Well-Spoken Thesaurus is filled with dynamic reinventions of standard words and phrases.
