TOWARD OR TOWARDS

[orleans]

"until the ugly clown turned around and began heading toward them"

"until the ugly clown turned around and began heading towardS them"

??

which is the correct way? S or no S?

[Lil Missy]

1. I'm never sure either. And there are so many spelling and grammar nazis around here.

[orleans]

3. wish one of them would locate me and let me know...wait...

is 6000eliot one? he says either one is okay

[6000eliot]

2. Either one.

[RoyGBiv]

4. Toward ...

... is proper.

"Towards" is common vernacular but not correct.

[Oeditpus Rex]

5. Rather like 'anyways'

[RoyGBiv]

7. Yup ...

:-)

[Drunken Irishman]

10. Anyway pisses me off like a zit on your ass.

[RoyGBiv]

13. Anyways ...

... about those zits ...

:evilgrin:

[orleans]

11. ooh--now that will definitely help me remember because i

know "anyway" is correct.

thanks.

[orleans]

12. thanks roy. n/t

[reyd reid reed]

6. No 's'.

Toward. You hear it a lot with the 's', but that don't make it so.

[patomime]

8. general rule of thumb...

the subject "clown" is singular - so therefore, everything else is singular in the sentence, with no "s".

Of course, if I'm wrong, an english professor could correct me.

:)

9. toward ~

[billyskank]

14. I'd say towards.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

15. me too

I also say anyways. sometimes.

[billyskank]

17. I saw anyways sometimes, even though I know it's wrong.

But I think towards is correct. Certainly in Britain I am pretty sure it is correct.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

18. it is the vernacular...

it rolls off the tongue easily. and sounds more pleasing to the ear (my ear, anyways :D...)

[Midlodemocrat]

16. Depend or Depends. Again, question for the ages.
