When should I not use a ligature in English typesetting? I'll have to look into this. Perhaps it was the font I was using that was a problem or perhaps because I was going through XeLaTeX. I'm ignorant enough that I'll blame myself until proven right. |

Passive clauses without auxiliaries Repetition of my answer? Ok, so it was formatted nicer. |

When should I not use a ligature in English typesetting? My experience with LaTeX is that it produces unsearchable ligatures. That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if it actually can produce searchable ligatures and I just don't know it! |

When should I not use a ligature in English typesetting? I don't think this is your question, but you shouldn't use ligatures if you expect people to be searching your document in an electronic format. For example, if you use a ligature for the double f in the word efficient then any searches of your document for that word will not produce any results. |

Is there any difference between “has gone” and “went” in this context? Interestingly, in my dialect, that "error" would almost never occur. To us, there is a very distinct difference between has been and has gone, which perhaps isn't so pronounced in your (UK, I presume) variant of English. On top of that, we would also say that the UK is in Europe to begin with, but that's another matter! |

Is there any difference between “has gone” and “went” in this context? This wasn't your question, but I should also add that there is a similar difference between "Mirek has gone" and "Mirek has been". When you use "has been" you are indicating that Mirek has gone and come back. |
