when should one use the word 'amongst' as against 'among' in the english language?
100758
They both mean the same thing and can be used interchangeably, but "among" is more commmon in modern English.

There isn't a real rule, it's much the same as asking when do you end a word with a 'y' or an 'ie' in English.  It all depends on the word.

The use of "their" is correct since you used the plural "others", but I would say "see their work in print".  Just a suggestion.

There is nothing "grammatical" about the question. All the folks saying it has something to do with whether the object is singular or plural are confused.  Since when do we use a different form of a PREPOSITION based on the grammatical number of the noun or pronoun it precedes??  It doesn't happen!\n\nBy the same token, there is NO basis for the claim that "Americans [or the British] are wrong. Their form is ungrammatical." It is simply a matter of different uses in different dialects of a language,  no more incorrect to use one or the other than it is to call the same part of car a "bonnet" in Britain and a "hood" in America or the variations in spelling standards on opposite sides of the Atlantic.\n\nNote that the differences between British and American English extend to other uses of "-war(s)" words (backward, forward, westward)\n\nAs support for the dialectal difference, one participant in the discussion linked below provided search engine results:\n[from] an attempt at a systematic Google search:\n"toward -towards site:uk": 677,000 kits\n"towards -toward site:uk": 8,530,000 hits\n"toward towards site:uk": 333,000 hits\n"toward -towards": 85,400,000 hits\n"towards -toward": 67,600,000 hits\n"toward towards": 15,900,000 hits

The 2nd sentence is correct and very formal; there is something like an old subjunctive form hidden in it.\nThe 1st sentence is (informally) not incorrect and could be found in British English.

Hmmm...no. It's not a sentence, so it's not clear what rules of grammar apply, but I don't think "a symbol" can be taken to refer grammatically to "burn their underpants"--so that makes the underpants themselves a symbol of throwing off their matriachal oppressors. You might want "to represent throwing off..."\n\nI am a matriarchal supporter but that doesn't make me any less a grammar queen.

among  برای زمانی می شود استفاده که به بیشتر از حداقل 2 چیز اشاره میشود. ولی between برای نشان دادن اینکه چیزی در بین چیز دیگر قرار دارد استفاده میشود. For example:\nThere is a bank between those two shops.\nThere are many different kinds of characters among a society. OR: There was a man standing among the crowd of people.

I would consider "discuss about" to be improper, but "talk about" to be correct. Why? I'm not really sure.

War on hunger.\nor\nWar against hunger.\n\n(No "the" before "hunger" in the English translation.\nIn French, when talking about an uncountable noun *in general*, it must be preceded by the definite article.\nBut in English, when talking about an uncountable noun *in general*,it has to be *without* the definite article.)

There are a few points in the Sentence Correction questions that are questionable. For example they tend to American usage with regard to whether collective nouns are singular or plural (pick singular)--however, they do seem to be compromising and will usually have another clue in the non-underlined portion, or another error in the underlined portion, so that is unlikely to be the only point tested at one time. "Their" used as a neutral singular is definitely wrong (e.g. Everyone took their seats.) "Different" belongs with "from" and not, as in British usage, with "to" (also not with "than"). "If I would" is wrong, although it is gaining popularity in the real world.\n\nIf you mean the essays, chances are minor errors like these and certainly British spellings will not be marked wrong.

leaving out the upon would create a confusion. in this sentence upon holds the place of words like "on" or "with"\n\nI am an english teacher... and this is really one of the few words that are hard to explain

Do they?  I'm not watching any english news reports so haven't noticed it.  Grammatically speaking, it is incorrect.  You use the preposition on before specific names of days or dates, like on Monday, or on May 25, but it does not sound right when you say on tomorrow or on yesterday(you can use for before tomorrow and yesterday).  Yeah, it can get annoying, but we have to accept that languages undergo a lot of changes, these also evolve or become extinct like living things, as it is mixed with other languages or when it is spoken by other ethnicities. There is the emergence of a distinctive language spoken in a certain region, like Singlish in Singapore or tag-lish in the Philippines, or maybe Hin-lish in India(they have their own english expressions that you can only hear from that place) Even for British and American English, there are marked differences and so with Australian.  And with the advancement of technology, it can get worse.  Just notice how the young generation seem to have their own english language and spelling.  People nowadays don't even bother with proper spellings.  As long as it sounds the same, it is okay, which can be another pet-peeve for some people.  Maybe in a few years, we'd be speaking in sms language.  \n\nFor the meantime, what you can do is to write to these TV stations and point out about their mistake and maybe they will rectify it.  But don't get too upset about it. It's the natural progression of things in this world.

How about:\n"I need a sentence with notwithstanding in it?"

This is not the answer that you're looking for.\n\nI just have a major bee in my bonnet about the abhorrent standard of English used in this media.\n\nThanks. I have got it off my chest now !

lol okay I'll try to explain first of all its [()] only when nessary which is rare.\nNow it gets kind a weird but () can be used both in the middle and at the end of a sentance (with the period like this). But only if its short. (I know its weird but if whats inside is a complete idea and not a momantary pause with short bit of info it can actually go like this.) Hope this helps.

C is correct. "between" is a preposition and begins a prepositional phrase which ends with a noun or pronoun called the object of the preposition. Therefore, the objective case (form) of the personal pronoun (me, him, her, us, them) and NOT the nominative case (form) of the personal pronoun (I, he, she, we, they)follows a prepositon.\n\nI hope this helps you.

Both are correct English. The first would be the most common circumstance. Which is more correct would depend on the context of the situation.
