I try and relate the word STATIONERY spelt with an E by asssociating it with Exercise Books. <br>The other STATIONARY refers to 'unmoving'. I try and relate it with standing in 'Attention' in the PT class. <br>While preparing for a Press Conference it's an easier job enabling the support staff to using the word STATIONERY, and while speaking to speakers providing them with tips on how to address the media reps, it's easier to let them know that they don't have to be STATIONARY while making their presentations and speeches.<br>Hope my sharing helps to understand the correct usage.

We all need reminding from time to time. Others that could use expert commentary include: use of I/me, he/him or she/her; who/whom; that/which. Also, the words that are used incorrectly so repeatedly that they become accepted, such as "training" becoming a noun synonymous with "class," "session," etc. Keep it up. I hope there will be more.
