_Sewerage; sewage_. The first means the system of sewers,
the second the waste matter.
_Some_. Do not say, "I am _some_ tired," "I like it _some,_" etc.
_Stop_. Say, "Stay in town," not "_Stop in town_."
_Such another_. Say "another such."
_They_. Do not refer to _any one,_ by _they, their,_ or _them;_ as in
"If any one wishes a cup of tea, they may get it in the next room."
Say, "If any one . . he may . . ."
_Transpire_. Does not mean "occur," and hence we do not say
"Many events transpired that year." We may say, "It transpired that he
had been married a year."
_Unique_. The word means _single, alone, the only one_ so we cannot say,
"very unique," or the like.
_Very_. Say, "_very_ much pleased," not "_very_ pleased,"
though the latter usage is sustained by some authorities.
_Ways_. Say, "a long _way,_" not "a long _ways_."
_Where_. A preposition of place is not required with where,
and it is considered incorrect to say, "Where is he gone to?"

_Without_. Do not say, "Without it rains," etc., in the sense of unless,
except.
_Witness_.
