were/where
Sloppy typists frequently leave the
H out of “where.” Spelling checkers do not catch this sort of error, of course, so look for it as you proofread.
___________
Things will never again be as they
where were. The revised and expanded third edition of
Common Errors in English Usage is now
available for pre-order on the William, James & Company Web site.
The cover price is $19, but enter the coupon code FIFTEEN to buy it for
the introductory price of $15 through the end of this year.
Read about the new edition on the
Common Errors blog.
If you wonder
were where the previous edition went, don’t worry—you can still
order the second edition at the discounted price of $12 (while supplies last).
As always, both editions come with free shipping within the US.
