You Speak, I Listen - Zsolt Zsemba

Practice your English with us each Saturday morning 9 am! So our 59th class this week was more of a meeting of the minds than an English class

It's interesting how "some" and "any" can convey contrasting meanings.
- Isn't there some way to cancel these tickets?
(confirming positive expectation)
- Don't you have any money?
(confirming negative expectation)

“Some” vs. “Any”

“Some” and “any” both indicate quantity and are used in questions, statements, and conditionals, where they convey different points of view, assumptions, and expectations.

The Editor's Manual

Both of these are correct, depending on the style you follow:
✅ Indigenous Peoples’ Day
✅ Indigenous Peoples Day

If you use an apostrophe, place it after and not before the “s” in “peoples.”
❌ Indigenous People’s Day

Apostrophe and “S” in Indigenous Peoples’ Day

“Indigenous Peoples’ Day” may be written with or without the apostrophe, depending on the style you follow.

The Editor's Manual

Use “who” instead of “which” for animals with names.
❌ My cat Tooks, *which* likes cheese, loves pizza.
✅ My cat Tooks, *who* likes cheese, loves pizza.

“Who” vs. “Which” for Animals

Use “who” for animals with names, animals that are personified or anthropomorphized, or to indicate emotional closeness. Use “which” or “that” to discuss a species or an unknown animal without a name.

The Editor's Manual

A comma separates day and year in a date.
- It began on May 1, 2021.
But if you're showing only month and year, no comma is necessary.
- It began in May 2021.

Dates: How to Write Correctly

To show the exact date, spell out the month, and write the day and year in numerals (May 1, 2021, or 1 May 2021). Don’t place a comma between month and year (May 2021). Spell out the day when it stands alone.
