1️⃣ Using any for two, instead of either :

❌ Don't say: Any of these two books is good.

✅ Say: Either of these two books is good.

⚠️ "Either" means one or the other of two, "any" means one of three or more: Any of these books will do.

〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰

2️⃣ Using a double negative.

❌ Don't say: She says she's not afraid of nobody.

✅ Say: She says she's not afraid of anybody.

Or: She says she's afraid of nobody.

⚠️ In English two negatives are equal to an affirmative statement. You should avoid using two negative words in the same clause. When "not" is used, we change:

📍 none to any,
📍 nothing to anything,
📍 nobody to anybody,
📍 no one to anyone,
📍 nowhere to anywhere,
📍 neither ... nor to either ... or.
