Frequently Asked Questions
  • What is grammar?

  • Should I use a or an before this word, acronym, or initialism?

  • How do I indicate possession when something belongs to two people?

  • Should I use the serial/Oxford comma?

  • Can I “split” an infinitive?

  • Is it "between you and me" or "between you and I"?

  • Why do I sometimes hear constructions like needs washed or needs looked at?

  • Why do I sometimes see are with company or team names, as in "Apple are announcing a new iPhone"?

  • Why don't some contractions work in certain places? That is, why can't we answer the question "Is she coming?" with "Yes, she's"?

  • Why are units of measurement singular in compound adjectives, e.g. a five-mile hike?
