I’m glad it was helpful, Cynthia. We have only one article on the
verb “to graduate,” but there are about 65 other articles on
various English grammar, mechanics, and usage topics. For the whole list, go to
http://www.getitwriteonline.com/archive/tips.htm.
All of the articles are being revised for the second edition of a book in which
they will all be collected (the first 50 were in the first edition; this one
will contain 75). If, in your browsing, you come across anything that is
unclear, incomplete, or just plain wrong, I would appreciate hearing from you!
(I wanted to reply off list, but I could not find your e-mail address
in your posts below.)
Best,
Nancy

Thank you very much, Nancy. This article was exactly what I
needed! I love this listserve.
Do you have other articles on this topic? I'd
love to read them.

Subject: usage question
A parent recently asked me a question for which I
had no ready answer. The question is actually one that I have experienced
much frustration over for several years--my high school textbooks and usage
textbooks seem to have no ready answers for acceptable preposition usage in a
variety of situations.
The question is this: Do students graduate from high school or do they graduate high school?
I would love to hear from you people.
