Careen and CareerVerbSome people might be confused by the warning to not confuse careen and career, because the most common sense of career (“a profession”) is not much like any of the meanings of careen. But when employed as a verb, career does have some semantic overlap with careen; both words may be used to mean “to go at top speed especially in a headlong manner.” A car, for instance, may either careen or career. Some usage guides hold, however, that the car is only careening if there is side-to-side motion, as careen has other meanings related to movement, among which is “to sway from side to side.”
Yesterday, montessoriteacher said, “My orthopaedic surgeon husband is working today too. I wish he was home with his daughter and I.”
Does the Montessori method exclude lessons in grammar? “… with his daughter and ME.” The preposition “with” takes the OBJECTIVE case, whether the object is simple or compound. Are there no decent schools left in this country?
