What do you call a person who has never done anything wrong in their life? Umm, wouldn't they be called, "Perfect?" |

What is wrong in Strunk & White's “Elements of Style?” @TheRaven Interesting that you spend so much time deleting needless words. In my schooling, about 80% or so of my editorial work was adding superfluous wording to meet ridiculous word-count requirements. |

Is “eachother” correct? I always try to spell it as "eachother." The only reason I don't is because of the red squiggly underline demanding I spell it correctly. I don't understand how this is any different from "cannot" versus "can not." |

Usage of “However” instead of “while” Why do you want to rephrase it? I mean, you could, but what is the reason for wanting to? |

What is a verb for “illusion”? Illudes, distorts, befuddles, cons, muddles, fouls, addles, vitiates... |

“Crack” as a positive noun? Be careful when saying, "You're a crack user." People might get confused. |

Words with a leading silent w Just like T in trap, nobody should be pronouncing it "Tuh-Rap". The T leads into the R. I pronounce the W the same way. It's subtle, not silent. This is along the same lines as "are" ('ahr') vs "our" ('owr'). They should not be pronounced the same, yet people do it anyways (heck, this I was how I was taught in grade school). |

Words with a leading silent w The W is not silent... why would it be silent? W doesn't make the "wuh" sound. |

“He was telling me that he is going…” vs. “He told me that he is going…” Although, the question reads completely differently now that I see the edits. was telling vs told is an entirely new question, isn't it? |

“He was telling me that he is going…” vs. “He told me that he is going…” What I'm trying to determine is if he still has yet to go, or if he has [or should have] already gone. The expression could sound correct or wrong, depending on the chronological context his schedule. |
