I’ve just bought a second-hand dictionary and thesaurus, which has a  contents list as follows:

“Abbreviations Used in this Book

Dictionary

Thesuarus

Appendices

Commonly Misspelt Words

Weights and Measures”

Strangely enough, “thesaurus” is not included in the list of Commonly Misspelt Words.

  1. What a great example!

  2. One of Bangkok’s 5-star hotels advertised its Valentine’s Day dinners in the local English-language press with the picture of two hands clasped on a table-cloth next to a rose and a flute of champagne with the caption ‘when every detial must be perfect’.
    I gave it a miss.
