EACH OTHER - ONE ANOTHER



It's becoming clearer to me that "one another" is going the way of all flesh, or all oblivion. Newspaper people, lecturers, professors, and the riff-raff of Instagram, TikTok, and others have considered that "one another" is defunct, because it is useless. It is not useless at all, and I would like to appeal to those who prefer to be exact the way they speak and write, to aid in the defense of "one another" and fight back. When two are involved, we say "each other" (they love each other); when more than two are involved, we use "one another" (Mary, Jane, and Laura love one another). It may be a losing battle, but it may well be worth stopping the decline of the right way of speech.
