 138  “In order that” must be followed by “may” or “might” or subjunctive and never by “can” or “could.” “In” goes with seasons, months, and large towns. “In” relates to dimensions 2 and 3. “In some contexts, meaning—as opposed to the strict requirements of grammar or syntax—governs subjeot-yerb agreement.” (B. Garner) “More than one” is singular. “Most” means “very” in the very formal writing style. “On account of” A is usually worse than “because of” A. “On” relates to dimension 3. “Same” is always better with “the.” “Similarly to/as” is controversial. Use “in much the same way as.” " “So + [f]” is less formal than “in order that + [f].” “Such a/an + noun” usually requires gradeability. “Such a/an + adjective + noun” is used for emphasis. “The only idiomatic use of mostly is for the most part.” (H. Fowler) “Then” is not a conjunction. “The same as” can be followed by a noun group, a pronoun, an adjunct, or a clause. “Translations (like wives) are seldom faithful if they are in the least attractive.” (R. Campbell) “Understandable” is mainly for behavior. “utilize, utilization are, 99 times out of 100, much inferior to use, v. and n.; the one other time, it is merely inferior.” (E. Partridge) “Versed in analysis” means differs Riemann from Lebesgue. “When adverbs of manner (which say how something is done) go in mid-position, they are normally put after all auxiliary verbs.” (M. Swan) “Which,” if interrogative, relates to a limited group. “What” deals with every group. abscissa of regularity absorbing set Appendix 3 Miscellany absorptance vs. absorptivity absorption edge Achilles and Tortoise acoustic inertance activity analysis acute angle ad hoc addendum or note added in proof adeles and ideles 138 |
