"Ridiculous. I expected to learn from this book, but it did nothing to enhance my linguistic skills.
Certainly, I understood, the title was not meant to include all the population of the earth, since most people in China do not use the words listed in the book, and understanding that it was exaggerated, I assumed that 'everyone' in the title referred to every person who would actually pick up a book to read. I would be appalled if most literate people misused even half of these words (though I know that many intelligent people misuse quite a number of them)."
"100? It should have been TEN thousand. I didn't realize how, STUPID, I was. I confuse and misuse a LOT of words. I think I should read this book twice or maybe even ten times. At least after the first reading I felt a little "smarter". :)"
"A good ready reference for writers, but it could be better. Listings are strictly alphabetical. It would be better if the confused words were listed together, twice, saving the writer some time in consulting the book."
