I am sitting here working on a seminar for next week and watching the hockey game. Aha! A grammar problem:
...These teams are so evenly matched. There have been 100 faceoffs; both teams have won 50...
What is the problem? Where is the grammar mistake?
Each is used when the teams/people/things are being looked at individually; both is used when they are doing something together.
So it is
...100 faceoffs; each team has won 50...
...accident on the country road. Both lanes are blocked...
...sent gifts to the girls. Each sent a thank-you...
Happy punctuating!
