Talk:alongside

Although I'm not a native speaker, I have serious doubts that "alongside" is etymologically related to the words "skin" and "deer"... -derf_red

Thanks. Good catch. It looks like an honest mistake from a regular contributor. DCDuring TALK 01:18, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Is the "of" in the example sentence necessary? Is it ever necessary? The example sentence being "Ahoy, bring your boat alongside of mine."

alongside of

alongside: prep. or alongside of
