Charles Harrington Elster is a writer, broadcaster, and logophile—a lover of words.

He is the author and narrator of the audio vocabulary-building program Verbal Advantage and the book by the same name. His other books include Tooth and Nail and Test of Time, vocabulary-building novels for high school students preparing to take the college entrance exams; There's a Word for It, a lighthearted look at unusual—and unusually useful—words; and The Big Book of Beastly Mispronunciations, which William Safire of The New York Times hailed as "the best survey of the spoken field in years." In 2005 Harcourt published What in the Word? Wordplay, Word Lore, and Answers to Your Peskiest Questions About Language, and in 2006 Houghton Mifflin released the second edition of The Big Book of Beastly Mispronunciations, featuring nearly 200 new entries.

Charlie was pronunciation editor of the seventh and eighth editions of Black's Law Dictionary and a consultant for Garner's Modern American Usage. He is a guest contributor to the "On Language" column of The New York Times Magazine, and his articles have appeared in the Boston Globe, the Wall Street Journal, the Los Angeles Times, the San Diego Union-Tribune, and other publications.

Charlie has also been talking about language on the radio since 1985. He has been interviewed on NPR’s Talk of the Nation, Weekend Edition, and All Things Considered and been a guest on hundreds of radio shows around the country. For five and a half years he cohosted a weekly public radio talk show on language called A Way with Words.

Charlie was born in New York City in 1957 and earned his B.A. cum laude from Yale in 1981. He lives in San Diego with his wife and two daughters.

单词是坎。英文不懂，多半是单词不懂。学（不用“背”字）单词，难，意义难，用法难，数量更让人难。词根法就是管理复杂度的方法（我不想说它是“捷径”，但却有点忍不住想说“正确的方法”）。仅考虑被动单词量，记单词，即训练自己能够从单词的拼写反应到单词的意义。词典可...

市面上词汇书汗牛充栋，但内容基本大同小异，很多仅仅是单词和释义的简单罗列，学习效果并不好。今天要推荐的Verbal Advantage是个例外，这是一本相当有诚意的词汇提升书籍。 Verbal Advantage的作者Charles Harrington Elster是一名美国作家、播音员以及狂热的单词爱好者。他...

2个月时间，认真读完了这本书，每一个单词，每一个短语，每一句话不敢相信，发现了一个错误。在第十个level的quiz中，应该是作者的笔误吧。第十个level中有世界上最长的一个单词， 29-letter, 12-syllable word，floccinaucinihipilification读出来像和尚念经， meaning “...
