A-Z of Bloopers - WA B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z While/WhilstWhilst is an old-fashioned word. Use while. Whose or Who's?Many people confuse these words because the way to form the possessive of most words is to add an apostrophe and 's'. For example: Mary's desk, John's advice. However, pronouns like whose do not follow this rule. Whose is possessive but it does not need an apostrophe. For example: "The person whose suggestion is chosen will receive a special award." Who's is a contraction meaning 'Who is'. For example: "Who's the right person to ask about petty cash claims?" |
