Elder or Older

What is the Difference Between Elder and Older ?

Broadly speaking, these two words have the same meanings and can be used interchangeably in most settings. For example,
  • He is my elder brother.
  • He is my older brother.
  • She is the elder of the two.
  • She is the older of the two.
In cases like those above, elder is simply a more formal version of the word older, and when comparing two persons, elder has no implication of advanced age, just more advanced than its comparison.
So, the elder brother in the first example isn’t necessarily old in the sense of the later years of his life; he is just older than his comparison.

When to Use Elder

While these words can broadly be used to mean the same things, there are some circumstances that call for one over the other, depending on the context of your sentence.
Elder can be used to denote relatively old age, and when it does, it adds a component of respect for a person’s position or achievement.
  • He is an elder member of the Supreme Court.
  • Senator Smith is an elder statesman, having served over 30 years.
  • The elder officer was honored by his younger counterparts.
As you can see, elder, in all of the above cases, signals a level of respect that is not signaled when usingolder.
And, of course, you cannot forget the age-old saying, “Respect your elders.”

Elder, Eldest Refer to People, Not Objects

The two words elder and eldest are used only when referring to people. They are not used when writing about animals or inanimate objects, such as clothing, furniture, etc.
The adjective elderly, however, is sometimes applied to other living things and, on rare occasions, to inanimate objects.
  • An elderly cat.
  • An elderly ship.

When to Use Older

If the main point of your sentence is simply to showcase the fact of advanced age, then older is usually a better word choice. For example,
  • The public opinion poll was a survey of older Americans.
  • Older voters tend to show up at the polls more so than younger voters.
Elderly can also be used in such circumstances, although some say this word has acquired a negative connotation and should be substituted with words like senior citizen.
Older can be used to refer to people, animals, objects, etc. There are no restrictions when using older to make comparisons.
Older also has one additional use that does not belong to elder.
  • John is older than Steve.
This type of construction, for whatever reason, is not permitted when using the word elder. For example,
  • Steve has an elder brother. (Correct)
  • John is the elder of the two. (Correct)
  • John is elder than Steve. (Wrong)
Conversely, all of these forms are acceptable when using older.
  • Steve has an older brother. (Correct)
  • John is the older of the two. (Correct)
  • John is older than Steve. (Correct)

Summary

Since both words can broadly mean the same thing, you just need to remember the limitations of each word. Here are the main points of the older vs. elder confusion.
Elder adds a level of respect that older does not. Elder also cannot be used when referring to animals or objects.
Older is the better word choice in most situations. It’s used simply to refer to people or things far advanced in years of life.

Who or Whom

When to Use Who

When do you use who? When who is used in a sentence, it takes the nominative form. That simply means that it acts as the subject of the sentence. For instance,
  • Who ate the pizza?
  • He ate the pizza.
In this example, who is acting as the subject of the sentence in the same way that he is.

When to Use Whom

When do you use whom? When whom is used in a sentence, it takes the objective form. That simply means that it acts as an object, either of a verb or preposition. For example,
  • You called whom?
  • You called him?
  • I deliver the pizza to whom?
  • I delivered the pizza to him.
In both of these examples, the word whom is acting as an object.
In the first set, the word whom is acting as the object of the verb “call.” Whom did you call? I called him. It describes the person you called.
In the second set, the word whom is acting as the object of the preposition “to.” To whom did you deliver the pizza? I delivered the pizza to him. It describes the person to whom you delivered the pizza (to him).

Problem Sentences

Now, determining the case (nominative or objective) of these words can sometimes be tricky because who and whom so often find themselves in the form of a question.
This makes their true function within the sentence hard to see unless you sort the words into a standard subject-verb-object sentence. To help with this, I suggest changing sentences like the following ones into “I should say who is calling?” to make them easier.
  • Wrong: Whom should I say is calling?
  • Correct: Who should I say is calling?
By changing these sentences into the form “I should say who is calling?” you can more clearly see identify the subject, verb, and object.
Another problem that arises when determining the proper case is when the pronoun serves a function (for example, nominative) in a clause that itself serves a different function (for example, objective) in the main clause.
In situations like these, the pronoun’s function within its own clause determines its case. For example,
  • WRONG: Give it to whomever wants it.
  • CORRECT: Give it to whoever wants it.
  • WRONG: Whoever you choose is fine by me.
  • CORRECT: Whomever you choose is fine by me.
In the first example above, the entire clause “whoever wants it” is the object of the preposition “to.” But, in the clause itself, “whoever” serves as the subject, and that function determines the case.
Similarly, in the second sentence “whomever” is the object of “choose” in the clause, so it must be in the objective case even though the clause itself serves as the subject of the sentence.

Tricks to Remember

Now that you know the functions of whom vs. who within a sentence, I can show you an easy trick that can speed up the process of determining their cases.
If you still don’t know when to use who or whom, try simply substituting the words he/him in the clause where the whom or who appears. If “him” sounds better than “he” in the clause, use “whom” because “him” and “whom” both end in and “m” For our above examples,
  • Wrong: I should say him is calling.
  • Correct: I should say he is calling.
“Him” does not work in this sentence which means that “he” or “who” is the correct choice.

Summary

In short, who and whom have specific functions in a sentence, and it’s important to use each word correctly.
  • The word “who” acts as the subject of a sentence.
    • Who ate my pizza?
  • The word “whom” acts as the object of a verb or preposition.
    • Whom are you calling?
    • To whom are you talking?
  • You can substitute he/him for who/whom if you are having difficulties in determining their function within a sentence.

Canon or Cannon

What is the Difference Between Canon and Cannon ?

In this post, I want to go over the differences between canon and cannon. I will use them in example sentences and demonstrate their functions and definitions.
After reading this post, you shouldn’t ever confuse canon vs. cannon again.

When to Use Canon

Canon is a noun that has a few different meanings. The most commonly used ones are,
  • A corpus of writings.
  • An established principle.
  • An ecclesiastical law established by a church council.
  • The books of the Bible accepted as Holy Scripture.
Here is an example sentence using each meaning of canon.
  • The book serves as a gateway to the Western canon. (Group of writings)
  • Your conduct on the field violated the canons of fair play. (Established rule/principle)
  • The Vatican Council set forth a new set of ecclesiastical canons. (Laws established by a church council)
  • The Protestant canon has 66 books. (Books of the Bible)
The verb form of canon is canonize.
  • The church has officially canonize these books.

Here is a cannon

When to Use Cannon

Cannon is also a noun and has one primary meaning: a large mounted weapon that fires heavy projectiles.
  • The cannons used in the Civil War were extremely advanced for their time.
  • The cannon on the Navy vessel sank three enemy ships.
Unlike canon, which requires a slight variation to act as a verb, cannon can act as verb without any changes. The verb cannon means to bombard with cannon.
  • The troops cannoned their enemies during a surprise attack.
Cannon does have a second definition that is very rare to see used but still worth mentioning: the loop at the top of a bell by which it is hung.

Mistakes Involving Cannon vs. Canon

The most common mistake involving cannon vs. canon is to use cannon when you really mean canon. For example,
  • His remarks in the courtroom last week violated the cannon of ethics for lawyers.
– should read –
  • His remarks in the courtroom last week violated the canon of ethics for lawyers.

Remember the Difference

A good way to make sure that mistake doesn’t happen in your writing is to remember this trick.
Cannon is the longer of the two words and usually refers to a big gun or mounted weapon. Since cannon is the bigger of the two words, associate it with a big gun.
Cannon is a big gun; for all other uses, use canon.
This isn’t universally true of course, as there are other uses for cannon (see above: the top of a bell), but it will get you by in almost all cases.

Summary

As you can see, one letter can be the difference between a written body of literature and a mounted gun for warfare. Remember this next time you can’t decide, “Is it cannon or canon?”
Canon is a body of written work, rules, principles, or laws.
Cannon is a large gun.
Worse or Worst
Most of the confusion that writers face in English has to do with homophone: words that sound alike when spoken but have different meanings and spellings.
Today, however, we are dealing with a different concept: comparative and superlative adjectives. If you’re not sure what these terms mean, don’t worry. I’ll explain everything in detail below.

What is the Difference Between Worse and Worst ?

In this post, I want to talk about worse vs. worst. I will use both words in example sentences and outline exactly when to use each word.
After reading this post, you won’t ever again second-guess yourself by saying, “Should I use worse or worst?”

When to Use Worse

What does worse mean? Worse is defined as of lower quality or a lower standard.
Worse is what is known as a comparative adjective. A comparative adjective is used to compare two things with each other. For example,
  • The food was worse than the service.
  • These headphones are worse than my old ones.
  • He will look to exploit a Giants secondary that figures to be even worse than it was last season. –New York Times
  • The strain looks to be a little bit worse than initially diagnosed. –Oakland Press
As you can see in each of the above examples, worse is being used to compare two different things. In other words, something is worse than something else. That is how comparative adjectives work.

When to Use Worst

What does worst mean? Worst is defined as of the lowest quality or the lowest standard.
Worst is what is known as a superlative adjective. A superlative adjective is used when you compare three or more things with one another. For example,
  • Out of Steve, Bill, and Joe, Steve has the worst score.
  • This was the worst speech the president has ever made.
  • An index of REIT stocks is on track for its worst year since 2008 after a six-year rally pushed it up 348%, including dividends, from its financial-crisis-era low, as of Friday’s close. –The Wall Street Journal
  • Under Will Muschamp, the Gators only had one 1,000-yard rusher (Mike Gillislee in 2012) and the running backs struggled in an offense that ranked among the worst in the country. –Orlando Sentinel
As you can see in each of the above examples, worst is used to compare three or more things. If something is of the lowest quality in a group, it is said to be the worst.
Superlative adjectives can be thought of as the most extreme descriptors. They are super!

Ordering of Worse, Worst

Worse and worst are irregular comparative and superlative adjective which means they don’t follow the typical pattern.
Most comparatives/superlatives look something like this, Large > Larger > Largest. Simply adding an “er” makes the comparative, and adding the “est” makes the superlative.
Worse and worst are irregular, however, so their ordering goes like this, Bad > Worse > Worst.
Then on the opposite end of the spectrum you have, Good > Better > Best (also irregular).

Worse Case or Worst Case ?

How exactly does the popular phrase go? Is it a worse case scenario or a worst-case scenario?
The correct usage would be worst-case scenario. A worst-case scenario is characterized by the worst of the possible foreseeable circumstances. It is the most extreme scenario.

Trick to Remember the Difference

Here’s a good trick to remember when to use worst or worse.
Worst is the least good option. If you are presented with a list of things to do, whatever is worst is the thing you would want to do least. Worst and least both end in “st.”
You could also think of it as being the most extreme (in the case of a storm or natural disaster). Worst and most both end in “st.”

Summary

Worst vs. worse are an example of irregular comparative and superlative adjectives.
Worse describes something that is of lower quality than something else. It is used to compare two things with each other.
Worst describes something that is of the lowest quality of a group of three of more things.

Avenge or Revenge

When to Use Avenge

Avenge is a verb meaning to inflict a punishment or penalty for an injury or a wrong.
  • We will avenge your son’s death.
  • I will avenge those who sullied your name.
  • The victim was avenged after the shooter was sentenced.
  • “As her family, we do not seek to avenge her death.” – The Guardian
In this sense, avenge is a word that connotes a pursuit of justice for someone other than one’s self. It suggests punishing a person when someone is looking to vindicate someone else other than himself or herself—or is serving the ends of justice.
It could be said that a prosecutor in a murder case is looking to avenge the parents or other family members of the victim.
The key point is that avenge has more to do with justice or retribution than it does with personal retaliation. It connotes an exaction for a wrongdoing and is often something that people seek for those other than themselves.

When to Use Revenge

Revenge is both a noun and a verb and generally means the act of taking vengeance for injuries or wrongs; retaliation. While revenge can function as a verb, it is much more common for it to be seen as a noun.
  • He was so blinded by a desire to get revenge. (Noun)
  • It was difficult not to be overwhelmed by feelings or hate and revenge. (Noun)
  • “Rodman, a lifetime fifty-eight-per-cent free-throw shooter, was decidedly less amused, but he got revenge by making nine of twelve from the line.” – The New Yorker (Noun)
  • We are determined to revenge our humiliating loss from last year. (Verb)
Revenge is a more personal form of vengeance and is usually centers around feelings of anger and resentment.
In the example above, for instance, there was no “wrong” done to the team who lost, but they felt humiliated. Perhaps they gave up an impressive lead and then ended up losing. This is not wrong or immoral, but they are seeking personal retaliation against the other team for this.
Revenge is much less concerned with retributive justice than it is with personal satisfaction or an “evening up of the score.” Since it is such a personal feeling, revenge often deals with real or perceived wrongs, whether or not any harm was done.

Remember the Difference

Revenge and avenge are difficult to tell apart, but these tricks should help you out.
Avenge means the achievement of justice. Both avenge and achievement start with the letter “A.”
Revenge means retaliation. Both revenge and retaliation start with the letter “R.”

Summary

Being careful not to mix up revenge vs. avenge is important for clear and precise writing, and while it is sometimes difficult to tell which is best word, revenge or avenge, choosing one over the other will affect the tone of your writing.
Avenge is a word broadly concerned with inflicting a punishment or penalty in the pursuit of justice.
Revenge is a word broadly concerned with inflicting harm or punishment for personal retaliation.
Compliment or complement
The two words compliment vs. complement are especially tricky, however, because they are long words and the only spelling difference between them is one little vowel tucked in the middle. One word is spelled with an “e” and the other is spelled with an “i.”

What is the Difference Between Compliment and Complement?

In this post, I will outline the differences and definitions of these two words. I will go over the functions of each word and use example sentences to show how they are used in real-life sentences from newspaper outlets and print journals.
After reading this post, you shouldn’t ever second guess yourself by saying, “Should I use compliment or complement?”

When to Use Compliment

What does compliment mean? Compliment can function as both a noun and a verb.
When used as a noun, a compliment is a flattering or praising remark.
  • Your friend gave me a nice compliment yesterday. (Noun)
  • The remarks you gave are a tremendous compliment. (Noun)
  • Just a month ago, Apple paid Microsoft a high compliment by seeming to have copied the device with its new iPad Pro. –The New Yorker
When used as a verb, to compliment means to praise or to express esteem. For example,
  • I tried to compliment his outfit, but he was busy talking. (Verb)
  • Your friend complimented my hair yesterday. (Verb)
  • Mattingly was often complimented by club officials, but he has not been identified as the team’s leader for the foreseeable future. –L.A. Times

When to Use Complement

What does complement mean? Complement can also function as both a noun and a verb. It denotes completeness or the process of supplementing something.
When used as a noun, a complement is something that completes or brings to perfection.
  • Dressing is an expected complement of salad. (Noun)
  • That shirt is a perfect complement for those pants. (Noun)
  • We have a lot of celebrities who flaunt their hourglass figures, and the corset really is a complement to that figure. –The New York Times
When used as a verb, to complement means to supplement adequately or to complete. For example,
  • That shirt really complements your eyes. (Verb)
  • This sauce complements the natural flavors of the meat. (Verb)
  • In any given space you want a mix of patterns, textures and colors that complement each other but that don’t look too matchy. –The Washington Post

Tricks to Remember the Difference

Don’t think you will be able to remember all of this next time you are picking between complement vs. compliment? Here’s a useful mnemonic that will be able to help you through those times of indecision.
A good way to remember the difference between these two words is to remember that “I” make compliments to other people. “I” make compliments about people’s clothes and compliment has an “i” in it.

Summary

So is it complement or compliment? That, of course, depends on the context of your sentence. Each word has is own purpose and function.
A complement is something that completes something else or brings it to perfection.
A compliment is a polite expression of praise or admiration.

Affect or Effect
Out of all the confusing words in English, affect vs. effect are among the most puzzling. Many people have trouble telling them apart because of their similar spelling and pronunciation, but, once you know their differences, they are actually quite easy to tell apart.

What is the Difference Between Affect and Effect ?

Today, I want to go over the differences between these two words and give you a few ways to remember their differences.
After reading this post, you shouldn’t ever have to second-guess yourself as to the correct use of these words, “Should I use effect or affect?”

When to Use Affect ?

What does affect mean? Affect is both a noun and a verb, but it is almost always used as a verb, meaning, “to influence, change or alter.” 
For example:
  • This game will affect our standings in the league.
  • The argument affected their marriage deeply.
Affect has a specialized meaning in psychology as a noun, “feeling or emotion, especially as manifested by facial expression or body language.” For example,
  • After giving the patient the preliminary dosage, he described his affect as flat.
This is a technical term for which there is no need in everyday language. There is very little chance that this usage would ever make it into your writing, unless you happen to be studying psychology.
The AP style book gives some great advice on using “affect” as a noun: avoid it if possible. Unless you must use “affect” as a noun, i.e., you are a psychiatrist, you should try to avoid it. It leads to too much unnecessary confusion.

When to Use Effect ?

What does effect mean? Effect is also both a noun and a verb, but it is almost always used as a noun, meaning, “outcome, result.” 
For example:
  • The effect was overwhelming.
  • The politician misrepresented the effect of his policies.
Effect can also be used as a verb meaning “to make happen, produce, cause.” For example,
  • Over my tenure, I effected many changes around the company.
  • Tax cut proponents hope to effect economic growth.
“Effect” as a verb is not as common as “effect” as a noun, but it is still quite common, so you should be familiar with it.

Tricks to Remember the Difference

There are a few good effect vs. affect examples to remember the difference between these words that will get you through almost all the time.
First, determine if the usage calls for a noun or verb.
Second, if the sentence calls for a verb, the word you want is almost always “affect,” meaning to influence or alter.
  • The sunshine _______ my mood.
  • The sunshine affects my mood.
Third, if the sentence calls for a noun, the word you want is almost always “effect,” meaning outcome or result.
  • The ______ of studying is getting better grades.
  • The effect of studying is getting better grades.
You can usually tell if a noun is needed by whether or not an article precedes it, such as “a,” “an,” and “the.” In our above sentence, “the” precedes “effect,” signaling that a noun is necessary.
Remember that both of these words can function as nouns and verbs, so this trick is not foolproof. There will be some cases where you cannot simply say, “affect is a verb and effect is a noun.” But this trick will get you by most of the time.

Summary

Is it affect or effect? Of course, that depends on your intended meaning. Affect and effect can both be used as either nouns or verbs.
Affect is almost always a verb, and using it as a noun should be avoided.
Effect is almost always a noun and is sometimes used as a verb.

Each Other or One Other:

In the movie Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, the slacker protagonists Bill and Ted offer this advice to the world: “Be excellent to each other,” and “Party on, dudes!” But are Bill and Ted running afoul of a rule regarding reciprocal pronouns?

“Each Other” Is a Reciprocal Pronoun

The phrase “each other” is known as a reciprocal pronoun because it shows a bidirectional action.

 For example: If Bill and Ted are being excellent to each other, that means Bill is being excellent to Ted, and Ted is being excellent to Bill. They’re practicing what you might call excellence reciprocity.

“One Another” Is a Reciprocal Pronoun

But Bill and Ted aren’t talking about being excellent just to Bill and Ted; they want each person in the world to be excellent to every other person. According to some grammarians, if we’re talking about more than just two people, we should use a different reciprocal pronoun: one another. In other words, Bill and Ted should more properly have said, “Be excellent to one another.”
English is unusual in having more than one reciprocal pronoun to choose from. It doesn’t set the record for the most reciprocal pronouns, because Korean has three, but most languages just have one. Chinese, Finnish, French, Classical Greek, German, Hebrew, Japanese, Russian, and American Sign Language, among others, all have just one reciprocal pronoun. Some languages, such as Spanish, Shoshone, and West Greenlandic,  don’t even have that many. They use the same pronoun as both a reflexive and a reciprocal, so that the same sentence could mean either “We see each other” or “We see ourselves.”

“Each Other” or “One Another” ?

The trouble with having a choice of reciprocal pronouns to use in English is that English speakers (and speakers of other languages, too) can’t stand to have more than one word with the same meaning. They’ll look as hard as they can for a meaning difference, and if one doesn’t exist, someone will create one. It’s happened with “healthy” and “healthful,” with “continuous” and “continual,” and many others. According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary of English Usage (MWDEU for short) the first person to state that “each other” should refer to only two people and that “one another” should refer to more than two was George N. Ussher, in 1785.

Grammarians Disagree About “Each Other” and “One Another”

Since then many grammarians have weighed in, some accepting the rule, others rejecting it. Even today, there isn’t agreement. Some sources that accept it are Garner’s Modern American Usage, and The Grammar Bible, by Michael Strum pf and Auriel Douglas. Some that don’t are the second edition of Fowler’s Modern English Usage, and Grammar Without Grief, by Martin Steinmann and Michael Keller.
There are even sources, such as Ronald Wardhaugh’s Understanding English Grammar, that propose a version of the rule that goes like this: Use “one another” or “each other” when you’re talking about more than two people, but when you’re just talking about two people, use “each other.” That rule will never catch on. People don’t like rules that say option A is available in situation A, but option B is available in situation B and situation A. They prefer clean, two-way distinctions: option A in situation A; option B in situation B; end of story.

“Each Other” and “One Another” Are Often Interchangeable

Despite these rules, both “each other” and “one another” had been used to refer just to two people, and to more than two, hundreds of years before anyone tried to force a meaning distinction on them. The Oxford English Dictionary gives this quotation from Shakespeare, with “one another” referring to two people: “When we are married, and have more occasion to know one another.” MWDEU has this example from Samuel Johnson, with “each other” referring to more than two people: “Sixteen ministers who meet weekly at each other’s houses.” As MWDEU puts it, “the rule restricting ‘each other’ to two and ‘one another’ to more than two was cut out of the whole cloth.”  For some more informative discussion of this issue, read Gabe Doyle’s post on “each other” and “one another” on his blog, Motivated Grammar.  

The Safest Choice Is to Follow the Rule

Since there never was any historical support for this rule, but since there are people who believe in it today, should you follow it? Personally, I’d say no, but the good news is that it’s an easy rule to follow if you choose to. Unlike using “whom” or saying “It is she,” limiting “each other” to two people and “one another” to more than two isn’t going to make your writing sound unnatural. Both sound fine in either situation, whether you’re observing or ignoring the rule.

Don’t Use “Each Other” or “One Another” as a Subject

While we’re on the subject of “each other” and “one another,” we do recommend following one restriction on their use. Specifically, don’t use them as the subject of a clause. For example, suppose Bill thinks Ted is awesome, and Ted thinks Bill is awesome. How could you write that in a single sentence? “Bill and Ted think each other are awesome”? “Bill and Ted think one another is awesome”? No. People do write sentences like that, and you may have heard people speak them, and you may have even spoken them yourself—I know I have. But it still sounds awkward, for reasons that are unclear.
MWDEU notes that “each other” as a subject hardly ever occurs in edited writing, and suggests that it might be because of confusion over whether to use a singular or a plural verb. It just goes to show that even when there is a logical need for a particular word, there is no guarantee that a word will be created to meet that need. This is especially frustrating, given all the words that are created when there isn’t a logical need for them, such as irregardless and conversate. The best you can do in this situation is to use what the Cambridge Grammar of the English Language calls the “split reciprocal” construction, and say “Bill and Ted each think the other is awesome.”

Compound Possession

That’s all for reciprocal pronouns, but I do have one last thing to say about Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure: The title is a great illustration of the rule for compound possession, which I discussed in episode 75!

“Each Other” Is Always Two Words

And finally, one more note for the people who are just learning English. “Each other” is always two words.
