The first deals with nine words that have so commonly changed to new meanings that even language pedants are likely to have adopted the new meanings.

The second provides seventy-five incorrectly used words. These are situations where the user mistakenly selects a word that doesn’t really mean exactly what they think it does.
Continuously and continually? Discreet and discrete? Farther and further? Different meanings. Are you using the correct one?
