Hello all. I was wondering about this. I have written "... putting new files
into the course resources folder."
I debated with myself whether it could be "...putting new files in to the
course folder."
I resorted to the preceding verb rule; that 'in' should be tied to a
preceding verb. I am curious about the "putting new files" phrase. Could you
use "...in to..." or is that just plain bad form? Or, conversely, should you
really use "into"?
I hope this isn't too obvious a question. It seems to me you could go either
way... In any case, it is really nice to have the time in a gig to actually
really think about the context and usage of the writing. Maybe I am thinking
too much, it could explain the headache.
Regards to all;
Warren.
