‘Each other’ and ‘one another’. I always get them mixed up. I think ‘each other’ is between two people, ‘one another’ is a lot -— like a crowd. ‘Hearing the announcement, they all looked at one another’. And ‘Tom and Susan were shouting at each other’.

Is that right?

How about ‘Try and...’ instead of ‘Try to...’ do something.

I’ve always had a problem with #6. I understand the use of the apostrophe for the contraction of “it is” - but the non-use of it when dealing with possession has always puzzled me.

What annoys me is when people say "I could care less" when they actually probably mean "I couldn't care less."

So when they say the former, I usually say "So you care at least a little?"

Your point is well taken. As I age, it is harder for me to keep these straight. So pardon me. I will do the best I can.

According to Lazmatazz’ assessment of one of my comments this morning, I guess I need to pay attention to this post. :>}

Take these up with Google and the lazy slackers that write their “Autocorrect” algorithms.
