Mbamally: 1. who's and whose Who’s is a contraction, who + is, or who + has. For example: who’s hungry? Whose is a possessive pronoun. For example: whose sandwich is this?
2. toward and towards Both spellings are correct, and they mean the same thing: in the direction of. Toward is the preferred spelling in the United States and Canada. In other English-speaking countries, such as the United Kingdom and Australia, towards is the more common spelling.
3. their and there There means the opposite of here; “at that place.” Their means “belongs to them.”
4. stationary and stationery Stationary means fixed, or unchanging. Stationery refers to paper, matching envelopes etc.
5. inquiry and enquiry enquire simply means to “ask,” while inquire was used for formal investigations. You can use either enquire or inquire and not make a mistake. Inquire is what you’ll usually see in American English.
6. loose and lose Loose: means not firmly fixed, or not tight. The handle is loose. Lose: I don't want to lose my job.
8. defense and defence Defence and defense are both correct/the same. It comes down to the part of the world in which they are used. In the United States, people spell it with an “s” while UK with "c".

Who's is the same as who is especially when you are referring to someone you don't know his/her identity. While whose is referring to something or item Belonging to someone unknown |

It is high time the African man look at himself and realise that colonisation is the reason he is not progressing. The African ma must begin to fight for his very own emancipation. If you don't know where you are coming from , how can you know where you are going... 1 Like |
