THERE is no surer sign of care*
less writing than the abuse of
“and which.” “And which” can bo
used correctly, but even so it usu
ally makes an awkward sentence.
When used as in the following sen
tence it is not only incorrect but
ridiculous, for what the writer is
saying'is that it was the bone that
slunk off with its tail between its
legs. 1
“We stumbled over a dog
gnawing a bone, and which
slunk off with its tail between
its legs."

“Between” and “among” are ’
often confused. The former should
refer to two persons or things; the
latter to more than two. ' ;
“The candy was divided between
the two children.” r
“The candy was divided among
the five children." ,
