Here at Where Books Begin,
we hope to provide our visitors
with more than just the bare bones of editing.
We want to help make the writing process itself
a little easier on you (and thus, in the long run, on us!).
For that reason,
we are proud to present
Fine Distinctions,
a little service we’ve come up with
to help you out
—
and hopefully it will amuse you too!
What is Fine Distinctions?
Fine Distinctions
is a feature which takes words, authors, places, and events
that people frequently confuse or misuse,
and explains the details.
Do you confuse the Parthanon and the Pantheon?
Maybe you aren’t quite sure what the difference is
between empathizing and sympathizing.
Maybe spellcheck has gotten the better of you.
Then again, maybe you just want a fun read.
Whatever the case may be, this site is for you!
Each week, we will update with a new distinction.
You will also be able to access past distinctions,
just in case you’ve missed one.
Have a distinction of your own you’d like to share?
Feel free to
e-mail
us about it!
You may even see it here in the future.
