I think good grammar is important and attractive! As a VA, it is part of my job to notice grammar, spelling and the proper use of words. Common mistakes can do serious damage to an otherwise stellar reputation. Think about the image you project and proofread, do some research, look it up…or ask me!
Et la prochaine fois, je continuerai avec mes 10 règles de la nouvelle orthographe en français pour les lecteurs francophones.
I will share some basic rules and talk about common mistakes over the next few weeks.
Rule 4. Anyway/Anyways
Do you say anyway or anyways? What’s the difference between them? Both anyway and anyways are considered colloquial (for use in casual or conversational English), and are used in a similar manner as standard words like regardless or nonetheless:
The event was cancelled anyway, so it didn’t matter that we were running late.
Anyway (without the “s”) is the preferred word of choice. It seems to be more commonly used than anyways and, therefore, less likely to be regarded as incorrect English.
