correct usage
in formal writing, I learned in my college that each other and one another cant be used interchangeably. However, Meriam Dictionary and others say they can be used interchangeably. Which is which?
Top answer
Traditionally, each other refers to two people and one another refers to more than two people, but the distinction is disappearing in modern English. I agree that they can be used interchangeably.
