Williams 411111111111 WORDS OFTEN MISUSED Do not say, "He is nowhere near finished yet." Say, "He HAS NOT NEARLY finished yet." Distinguish between "LET him alone" (don't disturb or bother him) and "LEAVE him alone" (allow him to remain by himself). Do not say, prefer reading over watching television." Say, "I prefer reading TO watching television." "Absolve FROM.. is preferred to "absolve OF." Thus, it is better to say, "He is absolved FROM guilt." WORD STUDY MESMERIZE; to hypnotize; to spellbind; fascinate. "The deep, MO- notonous tones of his voice almost mesmerized his listeners." - MISCIBLE; capable of being mixed. (Pronounce miss -i -b41). "Water and oil are not miscible." ACERBIC; sour or acid in taste; sharp or harsh io tone. (Pronounce a-surb-ick, accent second syllabk), "She made an acerbic retort." • ENCOMIUM; warm or high praise. (Second syllabk rhymes with "comb"). "An encomium by the mayor greeted the returning hero."
