2. ‘anything’ instead of ‘something’ ( ‘anything’ is used for interrogatives and negatives)
3. ‘a little’ instead of ‘little’ (‘a little’ means ‘some’. ‘Little’ means almost nothing)
4. ‘not less’ instead of ‘ No less’
5. ‘a little’ instead of ‘little’
6. ‘wedding’ instead of ‘marriage’ (‘Marriage is a long term relationship. Wedding is the ceremony of getting married.)
7. ‘Well-begun’ instead of ‘good begun’.
8. ‘well’ instead of ‘good’ in both places.
9. ‘the dearest’ instead of ‘the dearer’.
10. ‘sweet’ instead of ‘sweetly’.
11. ‘smart’ instead of ‘smartly’
12. ‘the kinder’ instead of ‘the kindest’ ( Though, usually, the superlative form of the adjective comes after ‘the’, when there are only two objects, there is no possibility for a superlative. Hence, only comparative degree is used.)
13. ‘oldest’ instead of ‘eldest’. ( elder, eldest, etc., are used when it concerns members of the same family. However, we can refer to an old man of the village, as the ‘village elder’.
14. ‘elder’ instead of ‘older’
15. ‘farther’ in stead of ‘further’. (‘farther’ means ‘to agreater distance’)
16. ‘further’ in stead of ‘farther’ ( ‘further’ means ‘to a greater extent, more, additional)
17. ‘ablest’ in stead of ‘most ablest’ ( Two superlatives will not occur together)
18. ‘to’ in stead of ‘than’
19. ‘to’ in stead of ‘than’
20. ‘to’ in stead of ‘than’
21. ‘to’ in stead of ‘than’
22. ‘oldest’ in stead of ‘eldest’
23. ‘than’ in stead of ‘to’
24. ‘better’ in stead of ‘best’
25. ‘latter’ in stead of ‘later’ (‘latter’ means the one mentioned second. ‘former’ is one mentioned first).
