Between 'two entirely different things' and 'two different things entirely' which is correct or can both of them be correct? |

they can both be used in two entirely different ways, because they mean two differnt things entirely. 3 Likes |

Neither of them is technically wrong... ...however, the word 'entirely' is not necessary in either sentences, as it amounts to unnecessary emphasis. "Two different things" will still give the same meaning to the reader or listener as "two, entirely different things" Hence, I would prefer to leave out the word "entirely" 1 Like |

TheRainmaker1: True. I also see no need for the added emphasis that "entirely" gives. |
