“Each X” vs. “Each X” in cartoon. Is there a true X?
Is a X and 100 equally interchangeable?
In the next paragraph, I would use each of the characters : each of
the main characters is interesting.
Each character in a Story can be
interesting. So why on earth can we write the following:?
I prefer the latter I think. Instinctively I prefer the former without understanding the latter. Is there a written rule favouring the former sentence?
Google returns 724k entries for each character, which should be the majority of the characters. For what it’s worth, google returns 11,600,000 results
for each character.
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?

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?
What makes your personal preference for each character more annoying than your own preference at all?
What do most of the nouns be after the one following them? I never imagined before doing these searches, that “each of the ones” could possibly occur more often than “each one”. Do the examples follow the pattern where the “each with the x ” form is far more common than the “each z ” form? I have studied 3 patterns (two patterns) that have a coefficient of 234 :1!
- “each name”… 2,080,000 results “each
- of the names”… 240,000,000 results “each one”…
- 65,500,000 results “each of the
- ones”… 170,000,000 results “each hat”… 274,000 results
- “each hat”… 1,350,000 results “each
- moment”… 3,900,000 results “each of the moments”…
- 11,800,000 results “each wombat”… 943
- results “each wo
In the same way that “All the main characters are interesting” does, the “Each character is interesting” seems to place the emphasis on the play altogether. And the action, the humor, the dialogue… Each of the main characters is interesting, on the other hand, stresses their individuality.
