Here’s an easy way to spell the right word when you mean it. All my life – this is no exaggeration – I’ve never bothered to ensure the difference. Today I thought ‘Hell with it, I’m off to Borders to locate a dictionary and get this sorted once and for all!’
Stationary is an object that is not moving.
Stationery is office supplies, Smiggle stuff and Streamline staplers*.
Now, how to remember the difference?
E for eraser (and easy!).
Or you might prefer:
A for airport full of stationary aeroplanes.
So now we have no excuse to get them muddled ;)
*Judging by Milton from Office Space, they must be bloody good staplers…Love that movie.
