Usage: Edition Vs. Addition

These words are often pronounced the same, making it easy to confuse them at times.

An edition is a version of something. It refers to something printed, like a book, newspaper, or magazine. Books will have an American edition and a British edition. Newspapers may have a morning edition and an evening edition.

An addition is something extra. You can build an addition to a house. You can study addition in school.

Trick to Remember
An edition is made by an editor.
An addition has to do with additional; adding: +
