cise."

_And which_ should not be used for _which_.

_Another_ should be followed by _than_ not _from_, e. g., "Men of
another temper _from_ (_than_) the Greeks."

_Answer_ is that which is given to a question; _reply_ to an assertion.

_Anticipate_ should not be used in the sense of _expect_. It means "to
forestall."

_Anxious_ should not be confused with _desirous_. It means "feeling
anxiety."

_Any_ is liable to ambiguity unless it is used with care. "Any of them"
may be either singular or plural. "It is not intended for _any_ machine"
may mean "There is no machine for which it is intended," or "It is not
intended for every machine, but only for a special type."

_Anybody else's_, idiomatic and correct.

_Anyhow_, bad, do not use it.

_Apparently_ is used of what seems to be real but may not be so. It
should not be confused with _evidently_ which is used of what both seems
to be and is real.

_Appear_ is physical in its meaning and should be distinguished from
_seem_ which expresses a mental experience. "The forest _appears_ to be
impenetrable," "This does not _seem_ to me to be right."

_Apt_ means "skilful" and should never be used in place of _likely_ or
_liable_. It also means "having a natural tendency."

_As_ should not be used as a causal conjunction, e. g., "Do not expect
me _as_ I am too uncertain of my time." The word _as_ stands here as a
contraction of inasmuch. Substitute a semicolon, or make two sentences.

_As to_ is redundant in such expressions as "_As to_ how far we can
trust him I cannot say."

_At_ is often incorrectly used for _in_, e. g., "He lives _at_ Chicago."
It is also improperly used in such expressions as "Where is he _at_?"

_As that_ should not be used for _that_ alone. Do not say "So _as that_
such and such a thing may happen."

_Audience_ is not the same as _spectators_. An _audience_ listens;
_spectators_ merely see. A concert has an _audience_; a moving picture
show has _spectators_.

_Aught_ means "anything" and should not be confused with _naught_ or the
symbol _0_ which means "nothing."

_Avenge_ means to redress wrongs done to others; _revenge_ wrong done to
ourselves. _Avenge_ usually implies just retribution. _Revenge_ may be
used of malicious retaliation.

_Avocation_ should not be confused with _vocation_. A man's _vocation_
is his principal occupation. His _avocation_ is his secondary
occupation.

_Aware_ is not the same as _conscious_. We are _awa
