When to use "toward" and "towards"? Thank you :)?

Answer 1

They're interchangeable. Toward is a little more common in America, and towards a little more common in Britain; but both forms are perfectly acceptable in either place.

Answer 2

When I was in elementary school, we were taught that technically "towards" is the incorrect usage of the word "toward." These days no one seems to know of this grammar/spelling rule that it probably doesn't even matter now. In fact I think "towards" has been used so much, it's now accepted as ok. Whenever I write, however, I use "toward."

Answer 3

To the writer, 'toward' is the preferred word to use, but consistency is most important. Stick to one throughout your manuscript.

Answer 4

I prefer "toward," but Webster's online dictionary and Bartleby both say either is possible.

Answer 5

Towards is not a word, you never say it with an "S", look it up, on any dictionary site, www. dictionary.com is one for example. At least in the US, it's completely incorrect, just like people who thing supposably is a word, even though it's not.

whatever floats your boat
