 Misspellings in spelling book! March 20, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
To my amazement, I noticed two misspellings in the first 12 pages of Spelling the Easy Way, finding "remember" spelled "remeber" on page 10, and "yourself" spelled "yoursell" on page 12. One sentence on page 12 ends without a period. I cannot take seriously a book designed to improve my spelling if it contains such glaring errors.
 This is the book you are looking for . . . December 15, 2001

With jobs so scarce lately, I thought I'd spend my time reviewing basic skills while I waited for the phone to ring. One of the skills employers and agencies test for admin jobs is spelling. When jobs are plentiful, who cares. I get 100% on word processing tests; I know how to use spell check. Since I have to compete for a limited number of jobs, I got serious about each test. This book starts with a mammoth list of commonly misspelled words. It's great as a reference. Skip to the chapters with the rules. I did a read through followed by a close reading of the first three rules chapters. I got 100% on a computerized spelling test for business and legal terms today -- which didn't include the obvious words like mortgage, committee, bookkeeping, and government. I know I would have gotten several of the test words wrong if I hadn't reviewed this book. My next purchase in this series will be Business Mathematics the Easy Way.
