Common Errors In English Will and shall: Of all idiomatic complexities in our language the use of shall and will causes trouble to more writers than any other. Shall, when used in the first person, denotes simple futurity. (I shall 30-1 am going at some future time). Shall, when used in the second and third person denotes prediction or compulsion. (You shall go-I will that you go, or you must go. shat go-r will that they go, ey must go.) Will when used in the first per- son denotes volition or will ng- ness. (I will go-I am willing to or 1 am determined to go.) Will, when used in the second and third person denotes simple futurlty. (You will go—you are go- ing at some future time. They will 0!‘ go-They are going at some fu- ture time.) Accidentl ls an obsolete (no longer use ) spelling of acciden- tally. Be sure to spell the word accidentally, and pronounce it with five distinct syllables. Affect ls frequently confused with effect. Since affect is very seldom used as a noun these words may be discussed chiefly as verbs. The older meaning of affect is "to show a liking for,’ as, "He affects green neckties," implying that he not only like; green neckties but "makes a show" of his liking for them. Another meaning of affect is "to assume or feign," as. "She affected an interest she did not feel." The most common meaning of affect is “to act upon", “to pro- duce a change in." "to move," as. “The heat does not greatly affect me." 'I‘o effect has fewer mean- ings: usually it means to do. to make, “to bring about as a result." Wrong: "The prisoners affected their escape." "Girls are by flattery." Right: “The prison- ers effected (accompllshed, brought Tho P. l. I.

Note tlat t0 affect is b0 cause an effect: if the climate affects you badly, it may also be said that the climate has a bad effect on you. Effect is here used as a nown. to mean result. out- come, consequence; familiar phras- es containing the noun are as follows: to give effect, to go into effect, to take effect, to bring in- to effect, etc. Note that (to speak further oi’ the verb effect) neither you nor anyone else, nor anything can effect a person; a person is affected, not effected. Almost, like any adverb or ad- jectlve, should be placed close to the word it tnodifies. Note the dif- ference between "ran almost a mile (that is. nearly a mile) and "al- most ran a mile", (that is nearly ran. but maintained a speed, just short of running). Wlla-t is us- ually meant is: “He ran almost a mile" Already, all ready. Already is an adverb. Correct: "Everyone had already arrived." The two words all ready mean that everyone or everything is ready. Correct: “Are we all ready to go?" (that ts, "Are all of us ready to gof") Any place is incorrect for any- where. Correct: "We can go any- where we like". “You can go into any place on the street." Any- wlieres is also incorrect. But what is an erroneous sub- stitute for “but that", and the same warning applies to the com- bination as to but that (above). Wrong: "’I‘llcl"e ls no doubt. but what she'll come." Right: "There is no doubt that she'll come." Or use but alone. tvitliotlt what. Wrong: "It ucvcr rains but what it. pours.“ Right: “It never rains but it potlrs.“ Also correct: “It never rains ivitllullt pouring." Use but what to mean "except ivhut." as, “She'll agree to nothing but about as a result of their efforts), their escape"; Durinc the latter part of the year 1940 the idea was conceived that the teachers of Canada, their friends, and their predecessors should raise a fund which might be available either for the purchase of a spitfire or for relief purposes in Great Britain. The teachers of Prince Edtvard Island together with those of the rest of Canada were asked to con- tribute. In many cases the response was prompt and generous both from the teaching body as at present constituted and from former tench- ers. One of the latter Edgar M Docherty, Providence, U. S. A. who attended Prince of Wales College during the Boer War, and subsequ- ently taught school for a time, made a contrlbnutlon of one hund- red dollars. Now, it was not anticipated that Chapter l This, like all introductory Chap- ters of l8th and 19th century novelists, is filled with descriptions of places and lengthy sketches of characters. The scene of the story takes place in that area of swamp and wildernes which extended be- tween Forts Edward and William Henry on Lake George. The time was during the war between Eng- land and France for possession of North America. . As the story opens, we find that news has reached Fort Edward to the effect that Montcalm ls on his way to Fort William Henry and that assistance is needed. An army is despatched immediately. Soon after the departure of the army another scene becomes the center of interest. 0n closu- inspec- tion we find three horses standing outside the house of the com- mander, General Webb. two of the horses being equipped for female riders. Looking more carefully we see a figure admiring the horses. Our friend is of peculiar proportions being extremely tall and singularly narrow. An tan stands quietly by as if deigning to take notice of such a human scarecrow. Soon two ladies emerge followed by a young man: they quietly mount and, with gestures of Adieu tc Webb, set off for the forest in the wake of the army. “up.” n On leavtn the protection of the fort, the lee are startled by the indlan rtmner who glides by them and takes the lead. It is significant at this point to call attention to the fear expressed by these travel- lers. Can there be any treachery, or plots to give under anxiety, we ask ourselves. The young man whose name ts Duncan Keyword tries to allay the fearl and suspicons of his com- panions by saying that the object of their fear ls a. trusted Huron In- dlan runner now in the employ of the English. Furthermore, we learn that the lndtan ls guiding the party by n. shorter route to Wil- wllat (meaning ‘except what”) she "Girls are affected chooses to approve."
