From hereonin 7

[manhunter2826]

As in: 'From hereonin I will not be attending your class...'. Is it 'hereonin' (as one word) OR 'here on in' as three separate words. Thanks.

 

[2ffat]

I would say three words. One word looks like you are trying to write "legalese".

no doubt, three words.

Herein, hereinafter, heretofore may be singles, but you definitely have a triple there.

Are you sure you don't mean hereupon?

 

[AnotherHiggins]

IMHO, "hereonin" does not look like legalese. It looks like someone misspelled "heroine" or "heroin".

Just to be sure, I looked it up on OneLook (an online reference that searches a load of online dictionaries in one go) and there is not a single entry for "hereonin" in any of its dictionaries.

Thanks all. Stars* for each of you. 'From hereonin I will indeed write 'here on in'.

(AH: heroine/heroin LOL, thanks)

 

[manhunter2826]

thargtheslayer: Thanks also, that's a very clear differentiation.

...or maybe simply from now on?

I have never heard of from "hereonin" or "from here on in."
Wouldn't it be "from here on out"? That would mean from here (this moment in time) out to infinity.

Why do you need that phrase at all? Why not simply say:

"I will no longer be attending your class."

Typical English. I think "from here on out" and "from here on in" would basically mean the same thing: "from now on."

On second thought, "from here on in" might make more sense for something with an ending: "We're only an hour from home, so from here on in, no more rest stops."

I did have to laugh when I thought about substituting anotherhiggins' suggested typo into the original example: "From [blue]heroin[/blue], I will not be attending your class..."

I advocate CC's suggestion...it complies with one of my favorite rules of Precision Writing and Speaking:

If you can eliminate words from a sentence without changing the sentence's meaning, then remove the extraneous words.

On second thought, "from here on in" might make more sense for something with an ending:

It may make sense to use the phrase "from here on in/out" when the here refers to a location and in/out refers to direction, but never when they refer to time. Here is not now, and time does not travel in and out.

Hmm,

If you can eliminate words from a sentence without changing the sentence's meaning, then remove the extraneous words.

or as a different flavor of the same though:

You can shorten a sentence without meaning by removing it.
