Homophone Potpourri Series: Part VI
By special request, here's
another installment of the Homophone Potpourri Series!
Important Note: Did
you notice that the words wary and leery are
synonyms? You probably also noticed that the word
leery is not technically a homophone of wary or
weary since it begins with the letter L.
However, I've seen many people use the word weary when
they really mean wary or leery. For example,
they'll accidentally write, "You should always be weary of
signing a contract before reading it." Either wary or
leery could be used here, but not weary.

"As a writer and editor, I understand
the impact of polished writing, and Angela definitely knows how to put the extra
'sheen' on any piece. As someone I contract work to regularly, Angela is
consistent in her ability to retain the author's voice while doing more than
just checking for typos. She knows all the rules and regs of good writing, but
perhaps more importantly, she seeks to understand the message and then edits
accordingly. Angela Smith is a consummate professional
in everything she does, and I will continue to use her services and
recommend her to my colleagues."

"Angela, you are a genius! Knowing that you would go over my writing allowed me just to write instead of worrying about my grammar and punctuation. You saved me hours of rewriting—and then still not getting it right in the end. Thank you so much for your great work!" Read more... |
