  • Ngrams graphs the usages of ten-dollar bill and ten-dollar note :

    Bill is much more common than note ; you will not hear normal American conversation include the term note in referring to a ten-dollar bill. When ten-dollar note is used in American English, it is usually a numismatic term, a formal term, or else foreign currency.

    What is Banknote, the

    Banknote, and how is it used in the industry?

    Is there a question in the news?

  • Both of these are correct. In the first example, each is a pronoun, and in the second, it is an adjective. Is properly used in either case, and meaning-wise, both uses are interchangeable in my experience.

    Which character is used more commonly so I graphed it with the same name for each character. As to how common each usage is, I graphed each character vs. some usages. Each of the characters on ngrams and Each character appears to be preferred: http://ngrams.googlelabs.com/chart?

    Content=Each+character%2CEach+of+the-characters&year_start=1800&year_end=2000&corpus=0&smoothing=3

    However, googling the same thing yields opposite results (131m to 7). How do I conclude: both are common traits? As any both are understood, the use of either should never prove a communication impediment.

    To answer your last question no, there is no written authoritative rule favoring either. Do both countries have nuances that resemble each other and are equally valid in their domains?

    The Big Book of Beastly Mispronunciations says:

    fifth FIFTH or FITH
    If you can pronounce the second f, good for you The Sword of Five has everything in it, so why don’t others try this and do it?

    I don’t agree with some of their verdicts of “beastly”: the entry goes on to say It is beastly, however, to drop the h and say FIFT or drop the th and say FIF.

    Being a philophone, the above excerpt applies pretty well here too. Is /fifs/ possible for many native speakers, and /fis/ is quite acceptable.

    Howdsay. com has both pronunciations in audio (BrE), and forvo. com only has /fifs/ (in AmE). What is the pronunciation of 5 in Forvo and ‘Plining’ in various contexts? Fifth Avenue (L.A.) (September 1963). Make sure to check out them if you want to

    hear them spoken.

  • Asked on February 27, 2021 in Grammar.

    A relationship between two things (e.g. and links them together)? A classmate = 1, I = 1, so A classmate and I = 1 + 1 = 2), so these are correct to get such and such scholarship in 2011.

    How did my college meet the scholarship requirement?

    What type of pronoun should I use? “you” should have a singular or plural form (e.g., I or me) and not to whether you should use unival or plural form (e.g., I or me ). Was or were ( or if were )? When you use the rule to figure out which of I or me is correct, you should alter the number of the verb ( were becomes was ) and direct object ( students becomes student ) when you take out the other person:

    A classmate and I were the first students became I was the first student (correct).

    A classmate and me were the first students so Me was the first student/employee, as opposed to different students. (Incorrect spelling).

    When you add a classmate back into the sentence, you can be assured of the proper pronoun ( I, not me))

    As to the first, the part the customer retains is called a stub (the returned portion of a ticket ), and the other part is sometimes known as the counterfoil (though the term can be applied to other things similar to tickets such as bank wires ). “The second could be tearing or detaching (there’s not a specific term just for tickets, that I know of), while the third is a perforation.

    You can even borrow the term Counterfoil from my answer and use it to make it complete — but attribution goes to user11761.
