Towards

Is towards, with an s at the end, a properly used word in the English language?
  

Top answer

Yes, absolutely. In British English it's the more common form of the word (and "toward" can sound a bit quaint or literary). I've read that "towards" is less common in American English, but an AmE speaker would need to confirm usage over there.
