Is it "effect" or "affect"? "Probably" or "probable"? And the dreaded..."who" or "whom"?

If you don't know when to use the above, you'd better check out this book. There are a lot of these so-called "confusable words" listed and when to use each. It's a necessity for writers, teachers, students, or anyone who wants to speak this ever-changing language correctly. I read it before teaching a writing class and was able to help my students overcome some common obstacles of language use.

I recommend this highly.
