The words people use say a lot about them. Some words say that
they are smart, persuasive, and informed. Others say that they
don't know what they're talking about. Knowing which words to use

To find out which words readers absolutely need to know, The
Princeton Review researched the vocabularies of educated adults.
The Princeton Review analyzed newspapers from The New York

American, and books from current bestsellers to classics. Editors
threw out words that most people know and focused on the words
that people misunderstand or misuse.
