You write, ¡°Presently, he¡¯s sleeping,¡± instead of ¡°currently,¡± Or, you write, ¡°The landscape was primordial,¡± when you really meant ¡°primeval.¡± Some common pairs are between vs. among, less vs. fewer, aggravate vs. annoy and historic vs. historical.
I must admit that I know a lot about wordos because I go looking for them. I hunt them down. They can make for some pretty amusing reading. I especially like the mental pictures they conjure up. In an article about getting published, the writer described meeting an editor who was very negative about his work. He wrote, ¡°I was so crushed that I left with my tale between my legs.¡± Just picture that. He went in with his novel, and after the editor told him how bad it was, he left with the manuscript clamped between his knees. Now, that¡¯s a wordo worth its salt. And that¡¯s only one of hundreds I¡¯ve collected (or committed).
