2009 年 10 月 27 日 同義詞或近義詞
這兩組字的意思在使用上並不會造成混淆，以形容詞為例，dexterous 意為「靈巧的，熟練的，敏捷的」，如 She untied the knots with dexterous fingers. (她用靈巧的手指解開繩結)，而 ambidextrous 意為「左右手都能靈巧運用的」，如 Left-handed people are usually ambidextrous. (左撇子通常雙手都能運用自如)。它們的意思都是正面的，都是用來讚美人的。然而，它們的拼字卻把許多人搞得七葷八素。
Dexterous 亦可拼成 dextrous (亦即，dextrous 是 dexterous 的變體字 variant)，但前者是美國比較常見的拼法；再者，儘管 dexterous 的發音可為 DEK-stuhr-uhs 或 DEKS-truhs，但一般都是發成 DEKS-truhs，亦即發成少了一個 “e” 的 dextrous 的音，就像發 try 的 “tr” 的音一樣。尤有甚者，雖然 dexterous 有變體字，但與其相關的副詞和兩個名詞卻沒有變體字，只能分別拼成 dexterously，dexterity 和 dexterousness — 亦即中間一定要有個 “e”，沒有 “e” 就拼錯了。
夠奇怪的是，ambidextrous 和 ambidextrously 是各該形容詞和副詞唯一標準的拼法 (亦即中間沒有 “e”，有 “e” 就拼錯了)，而 ambidexterity (跟 dexterity 一樣，中間有個 e) 是唯一相關的名詞。

Ambiguity, () The first occurs when the deed or instrument is sufficiently certain and free from ambiguity, but the ambiguity is produced by something extrinsic, or some collateral matter out of the instrument; for example, if a man devise property to his cousin A B, and he has two cousins of that name, in such case parol evidence will be received to explain the ambiguity.
Ambiguity, () The second or patent ambiguity occurs when a clause in a deed, will, or other instrument, is so defectively expressed, that a court of law, which has to put a construction on the instrument, is unable to collect the intention of the party.
