In my final moments here, I'd like to thank all 112,000 employees, all over the world, for making my time as CEO one that I will *never, ever,* forget. Is the use of *never, ever,* hereinabove correct?

Yes. The word "ever" strengthens the word "never" Regards, Einde O'Callaghan > In my final moments here, I'd like to thank all 112,000 employees, all > over the world, for making my time as CEO one that I will *never, > ever,* forget. > > Is the use of *never, ever,* hereinabove correct? It's fine, unlike 'hereinabove'.

What is the problem with 'hereinabove'? I do see such a word at http://www.thefreedictionary.com/dict.asp?Word=hereinabove NSP n o s p a m p l e a s e schrieb: >>>In my final moments here, I'd like to thank all 112,000 employees, all >>>over the world, for making my time as CEO one that I will *never, [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > What is the problem with 'hereinabove'? I do see such a word at > http://www.thefreedictionary.com/dict.asp?Word=hereinabove It's very old-fashioned - probably last commonly used in everyday speech during the 17th century - and is now only used in legal documents. Regards, Einde O'callaghan * I would like to buy one but do you give any rebate to students? Is the above grammatical correct? I am concerned about *do you give any rebate to students?*. NSP n o s p a m p l e a s e schrieb: > * I would like to buy one but do you give any rebate to students? > > Is the above grammatical correct? I am concerned about *do you give > any rebate to students?*. Grammatically it's fine, but the more usual word would be "discount" not rebate. "... do you give a student discount" sounds more idiomatic. Slightly more formal would be "grant" instead of "give". Regards, Einde O'Callaghan * Dear Mr President, How to address Mr President if President is a lady? I don't think it would be appropriate to address her as Ms President or Mrs President. Regards/NSP n o s p a m p l e a s e schrieb: > * Dear Mr President, > > How to address Mr President if President is a lady? I don't think it > would be appropriate to address her as Ms President or Mrs President. I believe that the proper form of address is "Madam President".

Now it is clear. Regards, NSP |
