 137  We have A because of A. Weaken stringent requirements. Well may serve as adverb; Good as adverb is not for you. Write embed/enquire/etc. instead of imbed/inquire/etc. “A lot of” is worse than “many” in formal writing. “A produces {A}” is equivalent to “{A} is produced by A.” “A” turns out to be a letter. “All” as a pronoun is singular. “Although” is a conjunction whereas “despite” is a preposition. “Any one” means whichever you choose. “Anyone” means anybody. “Any way” means “any manner.” “Anyway” means “at all events.” “Also” goes with verbs. “A number of” requires plural forms. “As” may serve as “which fact.” “Assay the impossible” and “essay to peruse” are very formal and even archaic. “At” relates to dimension 0. “Be” is the only copula allowing an adverbial as complementation. “Because” after a negative is ambiguous; use “since.” “Besides” has a blend of afterthought. “Bilinear” means linear in each of the two variables. “Both” emphasizes “twoness.” “Cornucopia” stand for “cornu copiae” or “horn of plenty.” “Don’t” is worse than “do not” in formal writing. “Due to” cannot open a sentence whereas “owing to”may. “Each other”(and “one another”) should serve as objects of verbs and propositions. “Effect is ‘to bring about’, ‘to accomplish’; affect is ‘to produce an effect on’.” (E. Partridge) “Every” never refers to two. “Every” puts into group; “each” separates. “Every two” requires a singular verb. “Fulsome” is understood in a derogatory sense. “How”, “where”, “when”, and “why” form a normal string of adverbials. “If it was so, it might be; If it were so, it would be; And as it isn’t, it ain’t. That’s logic.” (L. Carrol) 137 |
