In our office we have almost come to blows over the word "whereabouts." Is it singular or plural? A. Whereabouts is a peculiar word. It is plural in form, but since it means "the place where a person or thing is," it must be treated as a singular, for obviously a thing cannot be in more than one place at a time. Correct: His whereabouts is known. On the other hand, headquarters is customarily used as a plural noun, as: His headquarters are in New York. Q There has been much discussion discus-sion among us concerning the use of "any more" in such sentences as "John isn't nice to me any more." Please discuss. A. Use of "any more" to mean "still; now; nowadays" is dialectal, and it appears to have originated in the North Central States. It is frequently fre-quently heard in parts of Indiana. "Any more" is correctly used in negative sentences as: John is not nice to me any more; I do not need any more help. Q. Our English class asks that you give the rule for forming the plurals of such compound words as "attorney at law, mother-in-law," etc. A. A safe rule to follow is to pluralize the noun part of the words. In such compounds as attorney at law, mother-in-law, right of way, commander in chief, the noun parts are, "attorney, mother, right, commander." com-mander." The phrases "at law, inlaw, in-law, of way, in chief," act as adjectives ad-jectives in that they describe the noun parts. Therefore, the correct plurals are: attorneys at law, mothers-in-law, rights of way, commanders command-ers in chief. Form the possessives thus: attorneys attor-neys at law's, mothers-in-law's, commanders in chief's, etc. Bell Syndicate. WNU Features.

Take lAq Word For III j ay t iuun& sjuuat ji By FRANK COLBY WHY IS JAPAN CALLED NIPPON? as Beverly Hills: We have been told often that Japanese words never end in a consonant Then what about "Nippon"? And whence come the namea Nippon and Japan? L.C Answer: Thousands of Japanese words end with the consonant "n." Otherwise, all native words end with a vowel It must be noted, however, that the Japanese, with their natural acquisitiveness, have added large numbers of English words to their language, especially occidental terms for which no native words exist. A few such words have been borrowed without change in spelling, spell-ing, and may end in consonants other than "N." But, tor the most part, English words are Nipponized so as to conform to the end-with-a-vowel pattern, thus: Cream: Kuriimu, Pilot: Pairotto, Match: Matchi, Roast Beef: Rosu Biifu. The name Japan evolved from Marco Polo's account of visiting a group of marvelous islands off the east coast of Asia. He gave the islands the name of Zlpangu, a corruption cor-ruption of a word "meaning "sun origin." The English changed Zlpangu Zl-pangu to Cipange, and this, in turn, Anally became Japan. The original Japanese name for the Islands was Nihen, meaning "origin of light." hence the familiar famil-iar translation, "The Land of the Rising Sua." Later. Ninon was changed to Nippon (English pronunciation: pronun-ciation: Nip-pon; Japanese: NYIP-pone), NYIP-pone), and Bal Nippon, "great Japan," Ja-pan," became the official name. Ben Syndicate.
