MANNER VS. MANOR

What’s the difference between manner and manor?

 

The word manner means a way of doing something, 

as in Please exit the building in an orderly manner. 

The plural form manners refers to polite ways of behaving

 

manor is a mansion or the main house of an estate.

Both words are always used as nouns

and they are pronounced exactly the same.

Manner has a few different meanings, 

but they mostly all relate to how things are done

or how someone behaves.

The word manor once commonly referred to an estate 

(the tract of land itself), 

but it eventually came to refer to the large house on the estate

Still, a house that you’d call a manor 

is usually a big mansion surrounded by a lot of land.

For example

the mansion where Bruce Wayne lives is called Wayne Manor

A good way to remember the spelling 

is to ask the question: 

Who lives in Wayne Manor—is it Batman or Bruce Wayne?

As for how to remember the spelling of manner

just remember that it would be not nice to spell it without two n’s 

(just downright impolite, really).

 

Here’s an example of manor and manner used correctly in a sentence.

Example

The grounds of the manor were decorated in a stately manner, 

with beautiful gardens and hedges.
