How to Avoid Them
"soRT Of"

THIS expression, sort Of" like

on English IAN American provincial

some parts of America and has been
used there for many years. Strictly
speaking, the two expressions. "sort
or and "kind Of" are not errors, but
certainly they are not in favor among
careful users Of English, and should
be avoided. Especially is this true
when they become "sorter" and "kind-
err" as they are prone to become
Then they are certainly vulgarisms. to
be avoided.
~ felt sort Of ILL.," or IT felt kind of
ILL.," we hear. 1t Is better to say 81
felt somewhat Ill" or ~ felt rather
ILL.,"
OF course, the word "sort" and the
word kind" have legitimate uses, as
nouns, but In such cases the word
must be preceded by an article. Thus,
one may say, with propriety. II felt

house has been completely ran
sacked and everything of value in
clothes and jewelry taken. The
