The part people get wrong

Watch for an unstressed vowel that is hard to hear.

Same family: other, another one, one another, others, the other. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.

Where it comes from: “Another” comes from Old English *ān ōther*, literally meaning “one other.” Over time the words blended together in speech and spelling to become the single word we use today.
