If authors and proof-readersoccasionally nod, why should not also the people?
The colloquial inquiry, "Where do you live?" should be, "Where do youreside?"--for we live _everywhere_, but we reside only at _one place_.
A not uncommon error is made even by noted writers in the misuse of thearticle _a_ before the word _historical_; as, "In a historical addressat the observance of the centennial of Washington's death. " We can say, "A history of, " etc. , for the accent is on the _first_ syllable; ...but inthe expression, "An historical, " the accent being on the _second_syllable, good taste and euphony demand the article _an_.
Occasionally a writer will split his infinitive; as, "We were tocautiously and quickly advance to the hill above, " instead of, "Wewere to advance cautiously and quickly to the hill above;" "You mustnot expect to always have things as you would like to have them, "instead of, "You must not expect to have always things as you wouldlike to have them. " It is claimed by some writers, however, that itis not only correct to separate the infinitive from the verb, butthat such construction adds force to the sentence; as, "A pure heartis necessary if we wish _to thoroughly enjoy_ the beauties of nature, "in place of to _enjoy thoroughly_, etc.
