Grammar Girl's 101 Words Every High School Graduate Needs to Know - Mignon Fogarty 2011

Introduction

You may or may not have been taught these words in high school, but they’ll serve you well from here on out. Use them in your college entrance essays or during job interviews to show that you’re well-read and well-spoken. Even if you’re past those stages in life, you’ll regularly see most of these words in the news.

Since there are so many words that could legitimately be included in this book, for purely organization purposes, I’ve tried to adequately represent every letter of the alphabet; to spread the words over various disciplines such as politics, science, and economics; and to include some general vocabulary terms.
