English usage
Welcome to English usage with Thomas McAllister. As a Phi Beta Kappa English graduate of a prestigious midwestern university, and certified grammar hound, I consider myself well qualified to expound on the subject; but, to a certain extent, I hope to avoid doing so here. I've established this blog not only as my own linguistic soapbox, but also, ideally, as a forum for those interested in grammar and usage to put forth their views. So post comments; and when you post them, please don't hesitate also to suggest topics for future postings ("What's the difference between 'continual' and 'continuous?'" "Does 'fortuitous' imply luck, or just chance?" "Is it OK to say 'between you and I'?", etc.) Thank you for visiting my blog, and I hope you'll refer to it when faced with future grammatical conundrums.
Best,
tma

Thank you! I plan to bring all my language disputes here for a fair and balanced hearing. For example, I once had a long argument with my husband over my usage of the word "ambiguousness." He insisted that the word I wanted was "ambiguity" but he was wrong, as usual.
