skip to navigation better english words a-k words l-z punctuation contact skip to top words a-k words l-z punctuation clear language engenders clear thought, and clear thought is the most important benefit of education. richard mitchell better use of english through better understanding (a–k) a better understanding of words helps clarify thinking and improves usage, especially where english is a foreign (not a first) language. the following list tries to help with some of the more common errors and areas of difficulty (and continues with l to z ). a and an (the indefinite article) this is used to indicate a non-specific item, for example, a coat i wore as distinct from the coat i wore. in the former, the coat worn may or may not have been mine, or could have been one of my many coats. whichever it is, it is unspecified, indefinite, hence the term indefinite article. in the latter, the word the in the coat i wore refers to the particular coat worn; it was definitely that one. ( see the ) here is an example of incorrect usage: “…giving up one’s home, wealth, wife and children and leading a life of a recluse.” a recluse's life is essentially of one kind, reclusive—not several. therefore, we must not suggest by using the indefinite article a that there are several undefined variants of reclusive. there may be variations within reclusive but reclusiveness itself, as a life-style, is of one kind. hence, the phrase should read: “…leading the life of a recluse.” an has the same function as a and (usually) replaces it before nouns. however, there are exceptions (determined by pronunciation): a uniformed officer, an uninformed officer, a horrid taste, an honourable man, a european, an eskimo, an hour, a half, a eulogy, an epigram, an ink, an orange, an uncle, etc. advice some nouns are countable, some are not. advice is an example of an uncountable noun—it has no singular or plural form—and so one cannot say advices. to make advice plural (countable) is to confuse content with form: the content of the advice given may be varied and therefore many, but the form (advice) is not. similarly, knowledge may be of many kinds, but all are forms of knowledge—likewise with equipment, help, etc. emotions such as love, hate, fear, anger, distress, jealousy, frustration, etc, similarly have no plural form, strictly speaking (for the reason given above) and yet one can find references to a person's loves, hates, fears or frustrations, for example. does this negate what is said here? no, such plural misusage is merely emphasising form over content by pointing to the (often many) things or people that are the focus of a person's love or hate. it should also be emphasised that love, hate, fear, etc are nouns, not verbs: 'i love you' actually means 'i have (feel) love for you'. this is easily demonstrated to be true by asking a person to love, hate or fear someone by an act of will. if these words were verbs it would be possible to love or hate on demand, but it is not. love, hate, fear, distress, jealousy, etc happen to people. they are non-volitional. affect and effect affect, as a verb, refers to an influence. effect, as a noun, refers to a result. when something is influenced (affected) a result (an effect) follows. “she was adversely affected by the unkind effect of his words.” the effect (result) of his words was to affect (influence) her unfavourably, triggering unhappiness. “the bad weather affected [influenced] the time at which their journey began.” “price often affects [influences] how money is spent.” “the illness had a bad effect [result] on his speech.” “the effect [result] of his words was that the work they did was better.” “his words affected [influenced] their work for the better.” “the effect of the food was to affect the size of his waist.” effect can also be used as a verb, having the sense of 'create' or 'produce'. “the effect [noun: result] of his teacher's words was to effect [verb: produce] a change in his behaviour.” the verb affect may also be used to refer to artificial or sometimes even pretentious behaviour: “he affected an air of calm detachment while boiling with rage inside!” he hid his rage and pretended to be calmly detached. “she affected an air of superiority in the hope of impressing them.” she made a pretence of being superior to them in order to impress them. also this adverb carries the sense of as well or additionally. it's often unfortunately placed at the end of a sentence by non-native speakers. in the statement, “i am hungry and there is food also,” an englishman would expect to then read what else is present or is about to happen. he would regard the sentence as incomplete without that missing information. it would be correct to say: “i am hungry and there is also food here.” now we are saying that there is hunger and there is, additionally, the means to satisfy it. but the purist would then remark that there is no such food as also food. therefore, the best usage here would be just to omit the word also in this instance as it is, in fact, superfluous: “i am hungry and there is food here.” similarly, “…they do not exist in the present and will not exist in the future also.” there is no such entity as a future also. there may be a future time or a future event, but there is no future also. since adverbs usually work best when placed close to the verb being qualified, also is best used that way: “he was a gifted painter and had also studied sculpture.” alternate and alternative these two adjectives are not synonyms. alternate means 'occurring in turns'. alternative means 'a choice between two or more options'. (the verb to alternate, to act in turns, is not being considered here). it's therefore incorrect in british english to speak (as americans do) of an alternate member of a group or of taking an alternate route or of making an alternate choice. alternative is the correct usage in such cases. neither is alternate ever a synonym for substitute. moreover, if one has a plan and (say) two alternative plans, there are three options but only two alternatives: the options are to stick with the original plan or choose one of the two alternative plans. the original plan is ever an option, never an alternative. amidst, amongst, whilst these words are archaic and best not used. amidst is an archaic form of amid and so amid should be preferred. amongst is likewise not discernably different from among in meaning and so the latter (being simpler) should be preferred. similarly, whilst, although used by some as a synonym for while, is also a synonym for whereas. in both cases, whilst is best avoided and while or whereas should be used instead, as appropriate. any more and anymore any more is a measure of quantity or extent in respect of doing or having more of something. “i don’t want any more of that food.” “i don’t need any more [any longer] time.” “have you got any more of those flowers?” “i can’t listen any more [any longer].” anymore as a single word is an unnecessary colloquialism and best avoided. rather than say: “he isn't anymore interested in cars.” say “he isn't interested any more [any longer] in cars.” any one and anyone any one, as two separate words, means any single or individual item. it can refer to people or objects. anyone as one word refers only to people in general and means any person at all. “keep away; she doesn't want anyone to disturb her.” no-one must disturb her. “you cannot disturb any one of them.” we should not use anyone here. when referring to people, the above sentence means no-one in the group should be disturbed. here, the individuals in the group are not primarily being regarded as people: they are being seen as a collection of individual items (items that happen, in this case, to be people). therefore, any one should be used because it is referring to any one (any single) item or member of the group. the general rule of using anyone rather than any one when referring to people does not apply here. beside
