Subject: Toward vs. towards - правильность использования Уважаемые коллеги, подскажите, в каких случаях лучше использовать "towards" а в каких "toward". Например, в предложении "The doctor's attention toward(s) his patients".Спасибо! |

Q. What is the difference between toward and towards? A. The difference is merely dialectal. Toward and towards act as a preposition and adjective and have several meanings. The difference is dialectal, though many have tried to draw a semantic distinction (that is, a distinction in meaning). Toward is more common in American English; towards is the predominant form in British English. |

Еще добавление: Remember that toward implies movement and it should not be used when to or against would be the better choice. http://dictionary.reference.com/help/faq/language/d49.html |
