More Misused Words
John McIntyre at the Baltimore Sun has an interesting blog entry today about words that are frequently misused. I cringe when I read lists like this because I always see words that I have used incorrectly.
In addition to pointing out the mistakes, John also provides some helpful reminders for correct usages. For example, "comprise is the box that contains the contents, not the contents themselves. The alphabet comprises 26 letters. The alphabet is composed of 26 letters." � But this was my favorite:

Podium. A Web site on public speaking offers the advice "Stand behind the podium, don't lean on it or slouch behind it." � Crouch, maybe. Apart from the comma-splice run-on, the problem here is that a podium is a platform on which a speaker stands. Podium, from the Greek podion, foot; same root as podiatry. A lectern is the stand on which the speaker rests notes.

Thanks for the pointers John.
