tussled/tousled: Common Errors in English Usage Entry for Thursday, October 8, 2015

tussled/tousled
Even if your hair gets messed up in a tussle with a friend, it gets tousled, not tussled.

The second episode of the Common Errors in English Usage Podcast is now available. Paul Brians talks about two common words with different uses in the US and the UK.


This is the tenth year of the Common Errors in English Usage calendar. To celebrate, we are bringing back some of our favorite interesting, funny, but sometimes merely silly entries through the years before going on hiatus in 2016.

Enjoy the calendar? Buy the book!
