Stop. Say, “Stay in town,” not “Stop in town.”

Such another. Say “another such.”

They. Do not refer to any one, by they, their, or them; as in “If any one wishes a cup of tea, they may get it in the next room.” Say, “If any one … he may …”

Transpire. Does not mean “occur,” and hence we do not say “Many events transpired that year.” We may say, “It transpired that he had been married a year.”

Unique. The word means single, alone, the only one so we cannot say, “very unique,” or the like.

Very. Say, “very much pleased,” not “very pleased,” though the latter usage is sustained by some authorities.

Where. A preposition of place is not required with where, and it is considered incorrect to say, “Where is he gone to?”

Whole of. Omit the of.

Without. Do not say, “Without it rains,” etc., in the sense of unless, except.
