Common Errors In English and
How to Avoid Them
"A CERTAIN PARTY"

HHOW do you know that that is
IL so?" "A certain party told
me-"
The foregoing conversation was
overheard recently. The second
speaker should have said: "a certain
person told me,' not, "a certain
party"
This use of the word party" for
person" is quite common, but it is
condemned by all authorities on Eng
lish grammar as being incorrect.
Some, indeed, go SO far as to call 1t
vulgar.
1t should be remembered. however,
that the word party" meaning an
Individual, has proper place in Eng
lish. We may speak of "a party to
contract" or ''the party of the first
part" or "the parties to the marriage" i"
WoOlley's Handbook Of Composition
