Somewhere or Some Where?
Should I write "somewhere" or "some where"?
If you're unsure whether to write "somewhere" or "some where," your problem is easily solved. Write "somewhere" (i.e., the one-word version). For example:- Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known. (Journalist Sharon Begley)
- Electric cars aren't pollution-free; they have to get their energy from somewhere. (Actress Alexandra Paul)
- A black cat crossing your path signifies that the animal is going somewhere. (Comedian Groucho Marx)
- Some where deep down there's a decent man in me. He just can't be found. (Rapper Eminem)
It is the same deal with nowhere/no where and nowhere/no where. The one-word version is correct. The two-word version is a spelling mistake.
