It’s time for “Confusing Words of the Week” where I take a set of two or three words that get confused and give you definitions and try to give you a memory trick to help you remember when to use which word. If you have words that confuse you, use Ask PTB or send an email to [email protected] and they may appear here soon!
This week’s words:
Wangle – to get by devious means
- Joe was trying to wangle an invitation to the party.
Wrangle – to bicker; to herd horses
- It seems that politicians love nothing more than to wrangle with opponents.
Tip to help remember–Wrangle (with an “R”) means to “bickeR” or to “heRd hoRses.” The definition of “wangle” does not contain an “R.”
