Luck

Luck, like behavior, may be either good or bad. “The carpenter has met with luck; he fell and broke his leg.” “The manager has met with luck; his salary has been doubled.” The adjective lucky and the adverb luckily are used only in a favorable sense.

Make way with

This expression is often incorrectly used for make away with; as, “The Judge gave the boot-blacks a Christmas dinner, and the begrimed urchins quickly made way with the turkey and cranberry sauce.” Say “made away with,” etc.

To make way is to make room, to provide a way, to dispatch.

In our midst

“The doctor settled in our midst.” Say “among us,” or “in our neighborhood.”

Indorse, Endorse

From the Latin dorsum, the back, these words have come to mean the writing of one’s name across the back of a check or draft or other commercial paper to signify its transfer to another or to secure its payment. To indorse a man’s arguments or opinions is an incorrect use of the word.

While both forms of spelling the word are in good usage, indorse seems to be coming into more general favor.
