The Use Of "Should In Case"-a Big Blunder by arvinsloane(m): 11:05am On Oct 16, 2014
What do people mean when they say "should in
case"? Some even say "in case of incasity".
CAUTION: Both
are blunders. The first is an error of tautology,. e.g.
INCORRECT: Take this money for your upkeep should in case
I arrive late. CORRECT: Take this money for your upkeep
should I arrive late; or say "...in case I arrive late" (not both,
please). The second is a pure case of error in meaning and
sense. NB: Please, never again be caught being a victim of
these blunders.
