Episode Title | Avoiding Giving an Opinion |
Phrase | either way |
Text | In this podcast, the phrase "either way" means either for or against something, with either of two options being equally likely: "You can decide whether we go to the movies or the theater. I don't care either way." The phrase "either way" can also mean a certain amount of something: "The chemistry students have to measure very carefully, because a few grams either way can cause the experiment to fail." The phrase "could go either way" describes a situation where two outcomes are equally likely and one does not know which one will happen: "The two armies are equally powerful, so the battle could go either way." Finally, the word "either" can be used to mean both: "Start at either end of the fabric and sew a seam." Or, "There's a pharmacy at either end of the street." |
