    • My friend and I are having a fight over the correct use of the word “elaborate”. he used it in the following sentence: “We will elaborate it to him”. I told him that you can’t elaborate to something or someone. you can only elaborate on something. Who is correct and why?

What are the rules, if any, as to when to use the word grately vs. greatly (as in your help would be grately appreciated)? please advise.

Posted on February 7, 2013

Nancy, there is no such word as ‘grately.’ So, by default, whenever you mean greatly, the word to use is ‘greatly.’

I greatly appreciate your question.
