Tip of the Week #65

By Bernard Appiah | 21 February 2012

Beware of using words that appear to be synonyms but are not. For instance, you can write "English usage", but there is no such thing as "antibiotic usage". "Usage" usually refers to the conventions of a language whereas "use" refers to the condition of being used (for example, antibiotic use).
