The first major section of this book opens with 335 examples of autoantonyms, such as cleave, which can mean cling to or separate from. These are followed by 55 pairs of antiantonyms-the opposite of autoantonyms. Antiantonyms are pairs of words that look like they should be antonyms, like slow up and slow down. They are synonyms: two or more words that mean the same thing. Those lists precede Words with Letters Pronounced Twice and their opposites, Words with Ghost Letters, which are followed by Words Always with Prefixes and Words Always with Suffixes. These are followed by seven groups of various types of English redundancies. The second central section includes articles related to the English language. Topics include brief articles on the importance, meanings, or spellings of certain words: Alright, Renege, Ain't, and Covet, with one article about two words: Very and Extra. It concludes with more significant articles on the Oxford comma and Y and W as half-vowels in English.
