English Public Service Announcement: The “an” epidemic

According to Dictionary.com, “and” is a conjunction (used to connect grammatically coordinate words, phrases, or clauses) along or together with; as well as; in addition to; besides; also.

“And” ends with the letter “d” and is NOT spelled “an.” That is a COMPLETELY different word.

I.e. “pens AND pencils,” NOT “pens AN pencils.”

This was your English PSA for the day.
