The Dimwit's Dictionary: More Than 5,000 Overused Words and Phrases and Alternatives to Them 2nd Edition

I had a hard copy of this book and recently added it to my Kindle for what I thought would be greater convenience. Unfortunately, that's not so. The Kindle edition lacks a proper Table of Contents. Each alphabet needs an individual section and there are none. Consequently, to find a phrase or word in the book I have to search throughout to find what I'm looking for. The publisher needs to format the book correctly, as a dictionary, with individual sections for each alphabet. When that is done I'll give the book five stars. Without that feature it's just a pain in the derriere (foreign word, as classified in the DD)

Needed this for a textbook. Worked out perfectly. Allowed me to complete the assignment in one evening. Shared it with other students. Instructor was impressed that I took the initiative and purchased one for my personal library. Any student who is hesitant to purchase it needs to reconsider. It is useful for English and Graphic Design. Thank you. Arrived as advertised.

Excellent. Every writer i.e. every civilized person should have a copy.

No scratches, no torn pages.A totally new book.

I bought this book after coming across it when searching the term "in spite of, or perhaps because of," which is possibly my least favorite phrase in the language.I haven't read through the entire thing, yet, but I have read enough that when my wife says things to me like "there's no such thing as never" I point out that she is saying a dimwiticism.I'll tell you this much: I may recognize a dimwiticism when I hear one, but calling my wife a dimwit? That's dimwitted!

I love this book. It list all the cliche's, worn out phrases, etc., that all writers wish to avoid and has been an excellent reference.

Such a fuss made re this author....Somewhat disappointed.
