I would like to congratulate the correspondents recently discussing
page numbering on "alternate pages" for getting it right.
"Alternate" means "by turns", or "alternating between one item and
another item", and so on.
So many people seem to think it is a synonym of "alternative". Not
so: you can only have two "alternates" but two or more "alternatives".
Keep up the good work, defenders of English. 8^)
Regards,
Hedley
