1️⃣ Using any for two, instead of either :

❌ Don't say: Any of these two books is good.

✅ Say: Either of these two books is good.

⚠️ "Either" means one or the other of two, "any" means one of three or more: Any of these books will do.

〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰

2️⃣ Using a double negative.

❌ Don't say: She says she's not afraid of nobody.

✅ Say: She says she's not afraid of anybody.

Or: She says she's afraid of nobody.

⚠️ In English two negatives are equal to an affirmative statement. You should avoid using two negative words in the same clause. When "not" is used, we change:

📍 none to any,
📍 nothing to anything,
📍 nobody to anybody,
📍 no one to anyone,
📍 nowhere to anywhere,
📍 neither ... nor to either ... or.

Hong Kong has been hit with another day of turmoil Tuesday, a day after a police officer shot a protester at close range and, in a separate incident, a man was set alight following a confrontation with protesters. Some universities and schools were closed as protesters and riot police faced off around the Asian financial hub. A few thousand people — including office workers and black-clad protesters — brought traffic to a standstill midday Tuesday by occupying a major intersection in Central, the city's business district. In the afternoon, police fired multiple rounds of tear gas and detained about a dozen people. The protests in Hong Kong, an autonomous territory under Chinese rule, began in June over an extradition bill but have since broadened to challenge Beijing’s authority.

There is one exception, however: If you can prove chewing gum has therapeutic value, then you can have it.(so I cant live there😅;)))
