I frequently hear this.
Problem:
The adverb “back” in “respond back” is redundant.
Explanation:
The “re” in “respond” means back. Therefore, one could argue that a “response back” would never reach the intended recipient.
Solution:
“Please respond.”
I frequently hear these used interchangeably.
Problem:
The nouns “listing” and “list” are not synonyms.
Explanation:
“List” describes an ordered set of items. “Listing” describes the process of creating a list.
Solution:
Use “list” when you want to describe an ordered set of items.
Use “listing” when you want to describe the process of creating a list.
I saw this in a restaurant.
Problem:
“From” requires “to” (not a hyphen).
Explanation:
Use a hyphen when you want to show a range (e.g., “grades 9 – 12”). Use “to” when you have a phrase that begins with “from” (e.g., “from Cleveland to Seattle”)
Solution:
“From 9 a.m. to Noon”
