  • What is the difference between whereabout and whereabouts
    The other whereabouts (always with -s) is a noun It refers to someone's present location, and the person is indicated by a possessive: Bill's whereabouts is are unknown (some say it's plural, others don't) This whereabouts is stressed on the first syllable, not the last Executive summary: WhereabOUT were you? versus His WHEREabouts
  • What does the word whereabouts mean, and how do I respond to it?
    "Whereabouts" is usually used in place of "where" It is asking for a more general location - as in what general areas you interested in or would like to mention, it is deliberately nonspecific It is usually used informally and conversationally, not so much used when someone is asking for an itinerary or specific location
  • Usage of whereabouts - English Language Usage Stack Exchange
    Whereabouts of the building they are searching is still unknown It simply means the place where someone
  • whereabouts is are - English Language Usage Stack Exchange
    If the plural of "whereabouts" is "whereabouts", it's perfectly grammatical Consider "His itinerary is unknown" vs "Their itineraries are unknown " And the dictionary says "whereabouts" is singular or plural (so "His whereabouts are " would be grammatical, too) –
  • expressions - What does careabouts mean? - English Language Usage . . .

  • Single word for the holder or location of an item?
    Location, Whereabouts or Station don't work very well for people; Update: I'm looking for this word not only to label things on screen and in a database, but also to make the concept of assigning things to people locations as obvious as possible The right word would make this concept immediately obvious
  • What is the logic behind uncountable nouns?
    Note, though, that 'whereabouts' may be used with either a singular or a plural verb form: Her whereabouts is are unknown (one location one location) Their whereabouts is are unknown (one location possibly plural locations) And notice that 'location', a close synonym, behaves more regularly and logically
  • etymology - English Language Usage Stack Exchange
    Eric Partridge's Dictionary of Catch Phrases makes mention of "Up in Annie's Room", saying (that form) came to be around WWI, and was originally used as a response to an inquiry of an absent man's whereabouts Word-detective goes further, explaining it more specifically as a joking inquiry to the whereabouts of a soldier from word-detective:
  • differences - Where do you stay? vs Where do you live? - English . . .
    I think this is an excellent question The use of "stay" in this context does occur quite often, and as a native speaker of US English, it always strikes me as mannered and pretentious, and I think you're right right to say that it is confusing
