Errata
This entry may also be called “mea culpa.” The purpose here is to expose, acknowledge and correct errors that may appear in Words to the Wise or on the website.
The first error is an egregious one that cannot be easily overlooked. The first volumes printed contained a spelling error on the cover. That error has been corrected, but the error could not be corrected before some books were sent.
To those who made such a purchase, I encourage you to hold on to your copy. By the time you bequeath it to your grandchildren it could be the Inverted Jenny of the Amazon publishing world.
The second error was a spontaneous utterance in my podcast. Since the interview was unrehearsed, the error may not be as serious, but still offends my standard of accuracy. When asked for an example of a word from the book, I blurted out “Erick Shakleton” under persevere. Of course, I know that his first name is Ernest and I apologize to any descendants who may hear the podcase. I assure them that I am aware of the importance of his being ernest.
“Laud” to Diane M for spotting a typo – page 26 in paperback, page 25 in hard cover. Departed is the correct word.

About Author
Patricia Metzner
As the author of Vocabulary Book, Patricia Metzner has a lifelong passion for vocabulary and its role in communication gave a foundation for this book.

Although Patricia has never taught Latin, She found it to be the most useful course she has ever taken, and wants to share that experience. A book of 129 pages cannot replicate four years of classes and is not intended to. The Vocabulary Book Writer designed this comprehensive book to showcase the possibilities and spark further interest.
