  • Common Errors in English by Paul Brians [email protected]
    Common Errors in English by Paul Brians [email protected] http://www.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/ (Brownie points to anyone who catches inconsistencies between the main site and this version.) Note that italics are deliberately omitted on this page. What is an error in English? The concept of language errors is a fuzzy one. I'll leave to linguists the technical definitions. Here we're concerned only with deviations from the standard use of English as judged by sophisticated users such as professional writers, editors, teachers, and literate executives and personnel officers. The aim of this site is to help you avoid low grades, lost employment opportunities, lost business, and titters of amusement at the way you write or speak. But isn't one person's mistake another's standard usage? Often enough, but if your standard usage causes other people to consider you stupid or ignorant, you may want to consider changing it. You have the right to express yourself in any manner you please, but if you wish to communicate effectively you should use nonstandard English only when you intend to, rather than fall into it because you don't know any better. I'm learning English as a second language. Will this site help me improve my English? Very likely, though it's really aimed at the most common errors of native speakers. The errors others make in English differ according to the characteristics of their first languages. Speakers of other languages tend to make some specific errors that are uncommon among native speakers, so you may also want to consult sites dealing specifically with English as a second language (see http://www.cln.org/subjects/esl_cur.html and http://esl.about.com/education/adulted/esl/).

A striking novel observation emerges from our analysis: while most innovating firms in the US are publicly traded conglomerates, a substantial fraction of innovation is concentrated in private firms and in business groups in continental European countries.

Detta innebär en större trafi kbelastning utanför skolorna vid hämtnings- och lämningstider. Syftet med examensarbetet är att beskriva de brister som fi nns i den fysiska miljön kring Ursviksskolan i Sundbyberg samt vilka problem som kan uppstå i kopplingen mellan dessa brister och vanor samt beteenden hos människor som nyttjar platsen. För att ta reda på detta krävs inte bara en inventering av den fysiska miljön kring skolan. Problemet måste även ses i ett större sammanhang, vilka vanor och rutiner har familjer och hur dessa påverkar trafi kproblemet. Metoder som används för att identifi era problem och brister är bland annat områdes- och platsanalyser.
