These words are often used interchangeably. That which is apparent may be what it appears to be, or it may be very different; that which is evident admits of no doubt. The same is true of apparently and evidently.
Prejudice
“He is not the best person for the position, but his many kindnesses to me prejudice me in his favor.” We may be prejudiced against a person or thing, but cannot be prejudiced in favor. Use predispose.
Presume
This word is often employed when think, believe, or daresay would be better.
Pretend, Profess
“I do not pretend to be an orator.” Pretend means to feign, to sham; as, “He pretends to be asleep,” and should not be used when claim or profess would better suit the purpose.
Preventative
The correct form of the word is preventive, not preventative.
Previous, Previously
