Dear readers, managers and supervisors of the English forum,

I really appreciate you efforts and I would be pleased if
you accept me one of the participants on your English forum pages. I will write under the title ( ******** Functions ) This will be a very useful selection of the confusing words in the English ******** . I have extracted and quoted them from different books; The most famous one is Longman English Dictionary . I wish all brothers and sisters would benefit from this participation

Best Regards
