This book contains a collection of distinctions between words that you may use on a regular basis. Rather than pure definition, I have attempted to illustrate distinctions through example. This is a collection of distinctions that I have discovered as I have lived my life over the last several years. They have made a difference for me in my understanding of our world. I hope that they will make a profound imprint on your life as well. By reading this book, I hope that you will heighten your depth of communication. You will be able to see in language what you could not see before, create what you could not create before, and most importantly, express what you could not express before. And, the next time you pick up a thesaurus, you might become conscious of the side-effects it may have on your vocabulary. This dictionary may not seem too big. In my defense, may I point out that the Lords Prayer is 66 words, the Gettysburg address is 286 words, and there are 1,322 words in the Declaration of Independence. I wont dare compare this book to these great works. However, I do want to point out the power a few words can have. A few words can only have power if they are chosen wisely (and if they are understood inside the spirit in which they are expressed). I submit to you that you, by reading and understanding this book, will learn how to use words much more wisely. Anthony Robbins says that Nothing in life has any meaning except for the meaning that we give it. I hope that this book provides you the opportunity to generate further and deeper meaning from the words that I have put forth. More importantly, I hope you generate an overall deeper meaning in your entire life, making it alife of Distinction.

"This delightful book is a tribute to the genius of the human mind for conceptual precision and the beauty of the English language in capturing it. It resolves a great deal of puzzlement over confusable terms, and its endearing illustrations and lighthearted explanations multiply the satisfaction." —Steven Pinker, author of The Language Instinct and Rationality What’s the difference between mazes and labyrinths? Proverbs and adages? Clementines and tangerines? Join author Eli Burnstein on a hairsplitter’s odyssey into the world of the ultra-subtle with Dictionary of Fine Distinctions. Illustrated by New Yorker cartoonist Liana Finck, this humorous dictionary takes a neurotic, brain-tickling plunge into the infinite (and infinitesimal) nuances that make up our world. The perfect gift for book lovers, word nerds, trivia geeks, and everyday readers, this illustrated gem is more than just a book—it is an indispensable resource akin to a thesaurus but filled with charm and wit. Each entry, from “latte vs. flat white" to “Great Britain vs. The United Kingdom," is accompanied by mnemonic aids, quirky asides, and detailed illustrations, making it a standout dictionary for any bibliophile or language enthusiast's library. For fans of The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows or Foyle's Philavery: A Treasury of Unusual Words, Dictionary of Fine Distinctions promises to be a cherished addition to the genre that offers clarity, joy, and a deeper appreciation for the subtleties of the English language. The quintessential librarian gift and English teacher gift, it’s an educational odyssey that’s as entertaining as it is enlightening.

There is no time 12:00 a.m. or 12:00 p.m. Mad does not mean angry "To be or not to be" is not a quote Rugs are not weaved You do not loan money While the English language evolves for many legitimate reasons, like new technology and catch-words-of-the-day, the biggest problem with the English language is that it forgives too easily. When our words are misused, it seems it's easier to let them be twisted enough so they encompass their incorrect usage, so they appear to be correct even when they are wrong. That's why this dictionary was written - to help you eliminate from your language common errors that weaken your writing. Using the correct word at the proper moment adds power to your efforts. "A Writer's Dictionary of Distinctions" presents the most accurate, powerful, and effective ways to use nearly 300 common words. What we present here represents the best definitions, the best distinctions, and you will never be wrong in using them as we suggest. Use them as we've noted, and your mastery of the language will only strengthen.

How social scientists' disagreements about their key words and distinctions have been misconceived, and what to do about it Social scientists do research on a variety of topics—gender, capitalism, populism, and race and ethnicity, among others. They make descriptive and explanatory claims about empathy, intelligence, neoliberalism, and power. They advise policymakers on diversity, digitalization, work, and religion. And yet, as Gabriel Abend points out in this provocative book, they can’t agree on what these things are and how to identify them. How to tell if something is a religion or a cult or a sect? What is empathy? What makes this society a capitalist one? Disputes of this sort arise again and again in the social sciences. Abend argues that these disagreements have been doubly misconceived. First, they conflate two questions: how a social science community should use its most important words, and what distinctions it should accept and work with. Second, there’s no fact of the matter about either. Instead, they’re practical reason questions for a community, which aim at epistemically and morally good outcomes. Abend calls on social science communities to work together on their words, distinctions, and classifications. They must make collective decisions about the uses of words, the acceptability of distinctions, and the criteria for assessing both. These decisions aren’t up to individual scholars; the community gets the last word. According to Abend, the common good, justice, and equality should play a significant role in the logic of scientific research. Gabriel Abend is professor of sociology at University of Lucerne and the author of The Moral Background: An Inquiry into the History of Business Ethics (Princeton).
