Jul 29, 2007 · Jul 26, 2017. #8. Reece, I'm afraid that your logic is faulty. "I am not opposed with something" to mean "I agree with something" is nonsensical in English. Similarly, negating contradiction does not change the preposition. "That is contradictory to common sense" and "That is not contradictory to common sense" are the correct forms.
Mar 14, 2017 · Adverbials of manner tell you how or in what way something is done. However, as Davo notes, they carry different shades of meaning. "With" is more neutral than "in", as with would be more likely to be used if there is no surprise, and in makes it seem more remarkable.

I've noticed a drop in the trend of the backslash though, probably because people were confused with the ordering of the slashes and now I'd say what James mentioned earlier is the most common (w/o).
Feb 25, 2011 · Feb 25, 2011. #1. Hi, I would like to check if the phrase should be "with effect from" or "with effective from". e.g. She will station in the Mainland office with effect / effective from 7 April 2011. I think it should be "with effect from" but the latter appears quite often.
Apr 15, 2015 · 1. As someone noted in a comment above, the "correct" usage depends on which side of the Atlantic you are on. Americans say "different from" while Brits say "different to". As an American I appreciate many UK-specific usages, but for some reason this one really bothers me. I think it's because "from" denotes distance while "to" denotes proximity.
