Common Errors in English Usage Dictionary

If you find yourself writing sentences like

“I know I left my wallet hear!”

you should note that “hear” has the word “ear” buried in it

and let that remind you that it refers only tohearing and is always a verb

(except when you are giving the British cheer “Hear! Hear!” ).

“I left my wallet here” is the correct expression

HISTORICAL USAGE OF HERE

The very basic word here,

a derivative of the Proto-Indo-European root ko-, ke-, kē(i)-, ki- “this,

this here,” has so many relatives in so many Indo-European languages that it is hard to choose examples.
From ke-, Latin has cedo “gimme,” cēterus (from ce-eteros ) “the other, the rest of,” hic (from hic-ce ) “this, this here,” and ecce “look!” Greek has (e)keînos (from (e)ke-enos ) “that, that one (over there),” and ekeî “there, over there.”

The variant ki- yields Latin cis “on this side of” (as in Gallia Cisalpina “Cisalpine Gaul,” that part of Italy in the Po Valley between the Alps and the Apennines, where Gauls lived).
In Germanic ki- becomes hi-, from which Old English has hē, his, him and the neuter pronoun hit (English he, his, him and it ), hire, the genitive and dative singular feminine pronoun (English her ), and heom, him, the dative plural of the third person pronoun, now the colloquial English ‘em. Old High German derives hiutu “this day, today” (German heute ). Hi- and the adverbial or locative suffix -r yields Gothic hēr, Old English hēr, and German hier.
Finally, Hittite has ki “this” and kinun “now.”
