Most aspirants to this blog are either MBAs or MBA
aspirants. Folks belonging to the latter category sit for entrance tests, which
have loads of vocabulary-based questions. I have found, much to my dismay, that
most students do not like learning vocab through the good old way of reading
extensively. They wish to cram or mug up vocab!
On the other side, those who wish to learn are often faced
with the problem of understanding and using words that are seemingly easy; but scratch
the surface, they often end up either misunderstanding the word (i.e. its
meaning) or wrongly using the word in the right way or, worse, both.
I found two interesting infographics on Grammar.net, which detail
22 most commonly misunderstood words. The lists, though not exhaustive, are very informative.

Vocab is so interesting and cool...:)
nice one sir.. can i put up a request.. I'd like you to suggest me some reading for RCs.. especially on topics such as on Economics/(Obscure)Philosophy.. My concentration levels seem to be plummeting when i come across such passages in mocks.. I'd like to get a hang on how to go further and deal with such things. I'd be grateful if you could suggest me some links to such passages.. thank you sir :)
Thank you so much. This is so interesting. Vocabulary is undoubtedly interesting and confusing too. Learning Vocabulary is really important to learn the language.
