“my” vs. “mine” in multiple owner possessive
- August 21, 2025, 12:32pm
You should use "my" instead of "mine" in this sentence. So, it would be: "I so appreciate you taking my and Gregg’s child to school today." "My" works better here since you're talking about the child in a shared context. "Mine" is used when something stands alone, like "This book is mine."
"badly miscalculated" — double negatives?
“Badly miscalculated” sounds weird at first, I get it! It’s not really a double negative, just style. If you want super clear, “severely miscalculated” works. Also, this guide on research proposals https://samedaypapers.com/research-proposal/ gave me some neat tips on phrasing tricky sentences without confusing anyone. Totally useful for writing sharper stuff.
