22 Most Misunderstood Words in English
Most aspirants to this blog are either MBAs or MBA
aspirants. Folks belonging to the latter category sit for entrance tests, which
have loads of vocabulary-based questions. I have found, much to my dismay, that
most students do not like learning vocab through the good old way of reading
extensively. They wish to cram or mug up vocab!
On the other side, those who wish to learn are often faced
with the problem of understanding and using words that are seemingly easy; but scratch
the surface, they often end up either misunderstanding the word (i.e. its
meaning) or wrongly using the word in the right way or, worse, both.
I found two interesting infographics on Grammar.net, which detail
22 most commonly misunderstood words. The lists, though not exhaustive, are very informative.
