earlier edit
Often redundant, as the verb tense can indicate. Similiarly, later.
East Timor edit
No longer correct; the country is now known as Timór-Leste.
ecstasy edit
Not ecstacy (which is obsolete, except in Australia.)
effect edit
Effect and affect are often disputed in use. In general:
- affect conveys an influence over something which already exists. (affect changes)
- effect indicates a new idea, condition, or entity. (effect change)
(Note: both terms derive from the same roots, and in common use the distinctions are not always clear.)
effectively edit
Does not mean "in effect", it means "in an efficient or effective manner." Do not misuse.
eg edit
Exempli gratia, "for example". Always use comma to either side, eg, as an introductory phrase. The abbreviation is not italicized, and no dots. Used before presenting an example, rather than before a restatement as for ie.
electrocution edit
Always fatal, as opposed to electric shock which only may be.
émigré edit
Two acute accents.
Emmies edit
Plural for Emmy Awards.
English edit
Be wary of England, English when the meaning is Britain, British.
en route edit
Not italicized.
Eskimo edit
Whatever its etymology, the term is considered highly derogatory in Canada, and for this region should be deprecated. Conversely it is not viewed negatively in the USA's Alaska, and is somewhat common amongst historians.
EU edit
European Union edit
The correct term for the organization of European states. The European Community is only one pillar of the European Union, but may be used where the context is trade.
existence edit
Not existance.
