WORD TRIPPERS Examples
EXAMPLE #1: Famous, notorious – “Famous” means known widely and favorably, while “notorious” means known widely and unfavorably. “The young actress became famous for her Oscar-nominated role, and then became notorious for her drug use and underage drinking.
EXAMPLE #2: Fewer, less – “Fewer” is used when units or individuals can be counted; less is used with quantities of mass, bulk, or volume. “There are fewer letters to be written today than yesterday.” “The mail takes up less space than I thought it would.” Generally if the word has an “s” at the end, use “fewer” – fewer dollars but less money; fewer muffins but less food.
"Using a word correctly is essential to effective communicating.
Word Trippers is a quick, handy reference for authors and others
who want to make sure their message is compelling and on point.”
- Robin Peel, marketing consultant

Word Trippers is a handy resource.”
- George Mason, freelance editor
“As a professional writer, I enjoy the twists of the English language, such as

- Patrice Rhoades-Baum, copywriter, marketer
