Grammar is important both in colloquial speech and in written word. When a person speaks and writes, he projects his level of intelligence and thoughtfulness. Demonstrates organization in one’s own thoughts and intentions.
However, given how rapidly the digital world is changing our communication, we can witness a more rapid change in grammar rules. And sometimes not entirely correct. For example, on the Internet there are often two options - "stop" or "stop" - from different users. How to check a word in such a situation to be sure of literacy?
Origin of the word
In order to answer the question of how to stop or stop correctly, it is necessary to deal with word conversion.
Ever since the time of Peter the Great, when no one asked himself about the formation of the word in question, the word "station", similar in meaning, came from the "camp" - the name of the tracts where people or mail were transported. Trains came to the station, foreign and domestic citizens went on a trip. The borrowing was taken from several languages at once - Polish, Ukrainian and Latin.
And if in the first two “station” had a similar decoding and spelling, then from Latin statiō meant “parking, stop”. That was the beginning of the noun.
Word designation
Using some words in speech, people quite often do not think about their meaning. And this is the main mistake! Indeed, it is knowledge that helps to form a competent oral and written speech.
The word in question is mentioned in several meanings:
- Stop any movement while driving.
- Take a break after long work without stopping.
- The designated public transportation spot, fixed at the state level, where passengers get on or off.
So, we can conclude that the noun indicates the cessation of a certain type of movement or action.
Competent option
How is it all right: stopping or stopping? The word can be checked by the spelling dictionary - "Stop".
The following are examples of the use of this word:
- Go to a stop to catch your studies.
- - Stop on Lenin Avenue, please! - shouted the passenger.
- Employees of the enterprise were busy, because of which they had to work non-stop all day.
Now that there is no doubt about the only correct version of the word “stop”, you will not think about the wrong spelling when you come across it somewhere on the Internet.
Write confidently! Remember to mentally check. And over time, the word will be deposited in the head with only one correct spelling.
