Part 1 (2/2)

=Alder=--awl'der, not al'der; it is the name of a _tree_ and does not mean the ordinary _elder_.

=Alike.= It is sufficient to say that two persons or things are _alike_, not _both alike_. The word a.s.sociated with _alike_ is just as unnecessary as it is with _resemble_ and _equal_ in the following sentences: ”These two men _both_ resemble each other.” ”These two sums are _both_ equal.”

=Allopathy=--al-lop'a-thy, not al'lo-path-y.

=Allopathist= is similarly accented.

=Alpaca=--al-pak'a, not al-la-pak'a.

=Altercate=--al'ter-kate, not awl'ter-kate.

=Amenable=--a-me'na-ble, not a-men'a-ble.

=Among.= A thing is divided _among_ many and _between_ two.

=Amour=--a-moor', not am'-more nor a'moor.

=Angry.= Say angry _with_ a person and _at_ a thing.

=Animalcula= is the plural of _animalculum_; there is no such word as _animalcul_. Animalcule (singular) and animalcules (plural), are proper words; the former is p.r.o.nounced an-i-mal'kule and the latter an-i-mal'kulz.

=Antarctic=--ant-ark'tik, not ant-ar'tik.

=Antepenult=--an-te-pe-nult', not an-te-pe'nult.

=Apex=--a'pex, not ap'ex.

=Apparatus=--ap-pa-ra'tus, not ap-pa-rat'us.

=Aquaria=, not _aquariums_, is the plural of _aquarium_.

=Arabic=--ar'a-bik, not a-rab'ik, a-ra'bik, nor ar'a-bak; which errors are very common, especially in the compound word _gum-arabic_.

=Arbitrary= is often incorrectly p.r.o.nounced as if spelled _ar-bi-ta-ry_.

=Archangel=--ark-an'jel, not arch-an'jel.

=Archbishop=--arch-bish'op, not ark-bish'op.

=Archipelago=--ark-i-pel'a-go, not arch-i-pel'a-go.
