reticent/hesitant
RETICENT/HESITANT
“Reticent” most often means “reluctant to speak.” It can also mean "reserved,” “restrained,” though
conservatives prefer to use it to apply only to speech. If you’re feeling nervous about doing
something, you’re hesitant: “I’m hesitant about trying to ride a unicycle in public.” “Hesitant” is by
far the more common word; so if you hesitate to choose between the two, go with “hesitant."

right of passage
RIGHT OF PASSAGE
RITE OF PASSAGE
The more common phrase is “rite of passage"—a ritual one goes through to move on to the next stage of life. Learning how to work the combination on
a locker is a rite of passage for many entering middle school students. A “right of passage” would be the right to travel through a certain territory, but
you are unlikely to have any use for the phrase.

rio grande river/rio grande
RIO GRANDE RIVER
RIO GRANDE
Rio is Spanish for “river,” so “Rio Grande River” is a redundancy. Just write “Rio Grande.” Non-Hispanic Americans have traditionally failed to
pronounce the final “E” in “Grande", but they” ve learned to do it to designate the large size of latte, so perhaps it’s time to start saying it the proper
Spanish way: “REE-oh GRAHN-day.” Or to be really international we could switch to the Mexican name: “Rio Bravo."

risky/risque
RISKY/RISQUÉ
People unfamiliar with the French-derived word “risqué” ("slightly indecent” ) often write “risky” by
mistake. Bungee-jumping is risky, but nude bungee-jumping is risqué.

road to hoe
ROAD TO HOE

rob/steal
ROB/STEAL
