Kat Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 Here is a link to Common Errors in English which contains a very comprehensive list of misused words as well as many useful suggestions and links. It is based on the book of the same name.
quixote Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 (edited) What - no "Roget's Thesaurus"? But yes, its a good list of links PJK Edited January 8, 2007 by Peter J Knight
Michael Stuart Kelly Posted January 23, 2007 Author Posted January 23, 2007 Peter,I just added Roget's Interactive Thesaurus. Thanks.I also just added a couple of links dealing with logical fallacies, as a study of this is fundamental to good writing:Logic & Fallacies: Constructing a Logical ArgumentFallacies (This one is not on a site devoted to writing, but to Holocaust victims instead.)Michael
Michael Stuart Kelly Posted February 10, 2008 Author Posted February 10, 2008 It has been over 3 years since I stopped translating so I could concentrate on writing, so I have kept a distance from advances in the field. I just now came across a site I want to archive here for the future when I will need translations, not do them:Word2Word Language ResourcesOn looking over several sections, there is an impressive number of high-quality links. Not all of them are translation oriented and I am sure writers will find something of value. Here is a list of the sections on the site:Online Dictionaries and TranslatorsFree Online Language CoursesFree Online Translation ServicesLanguage Chat SitesWord2Word ForumLanguage CommunitiesMeetup Language GroupsForums For Translators RealAudio Language StationsLanguage Specific SearchesInternet Language SoftwareMachine Translation SoftwareFree Language Software Portable Translation SystemsAlphabets Of The World How To Say ???What's in a Name?Language Transliteration SystemsTyping Foreign CharactersMonolingual DictionariesEnglish As A Second LanguageEnglish Language DictionariesLanguage BlogsLanguage Learning PodcastEducational Language Software Software Localization CompaniesLanguage Schools AbroadVirtual Language SchoolsDegree Programs in TranslationWord2Word Translators SearchWord2Word Translators Registry Translators Registries OnlineLanguage Translation AssociationsTools For TranslatorsTechnical Writing Resources Language Related NewsgroupsWord2Word Writing ArchiveForeign Language NewspapersPoetry Through Language Other'nymsWord GamesAccents and Silly TranslatorsWord Etymology ResourcesAncient Language ResourcesVoice Recognition & Speech Synthesis Language Recognition SystemsLanguage Magazines & NewsLettersPrinted Language ResourcesSlang and Colloquialisms Additional Language Resources Our Awards and AccoladesHow To Contact UsI admit, I am impressed.Michael
