I saw the wrong one used recently.
Problem:
“In line” and “inline” are not synonyms.
Explanation:
“In line” tells where and is an adverb: “Bob is in line to receive a raise.”
“Inline” tells what and is an adjective: “Bob enjoys inline skating.”
Solution:
Use “in line” when you want to indicate where something or someone is.
Use “inline” when you want to describe what something or someone is.
I sometimes hear the wrong one spoken.
Problem:
“Different” and “differently” are not synonyms.
Explanation:
“Different” is an adjective. “Differently” is an adverb.
Solution:
Use “He looks different.” when you want to say that someone’s appearance has changed.
Use “He looks differently.” when you want to say that someone’s perspective has changed or that someone’s perspective is different than someone else’s perspective.
I often see or hear this.
Problem:
The adverb “out” in “list out” is redundant.
Explanation:
“List” implies sharing information with others.
“Out” implies sharing information with others.
Therefore, “out” in “list out” is redundant.
Solution:
“Please list what you want.”
