Co-Worker versus Coworker

What is the Difference Between Coworker and Co-Worker?

Coworker is a noun that means a colleague or a person whose job intersects with one’s own. Generally, coworkers engage in similar work and occupy similar roles within an organization.

Here are some examples,

  • My coworker Andy makes a delicious shrimp salad that is a hit at company parties.
  • Let me put you in touch with my coworker, Jill; she is the project manager on that contract.

    When to Use Co-worker

    Co-worker is the traditional spelling of the word.

    Summary

    Is it coworker or co-worker? Coworker and co-worker are alternative spellings of a word indicating a person with whom someone works; a colleague.

    Coworker and co-worker are roughly equal in their use worldwide.

    At this time, I advise defaulting to the hyphenated co-worker.

    Climatic versus Climactic

    What is the Difference Between Climatic and Climactic?

    When to Use Climactic

    Climactic is an adjective. It means of or pertaining to the climax. The climax is the point of highest action or excitement in a story or other event.

    Thus, climactic is used to describe the most exciting part of something. If it turns out to be a bit of a letdown, we might use its antonym anticlimactic instead.

    For example,

  • The climactic scene in John’s favorite movie included a gunman riding a dragon into a wormhole.
  • The climactic event in the playoff race was, unfortunately, an injury to the team’s star player.

    When to Use Climatic

    Climatic is also an adjective, but its subject matter it vastly different from climactic.

    Climatic means of or related to the climate. The climate, at least in this context, refers to large, atmospheric patterns that influence the weather.

    Here are a few examples,

  • Crops may be ready to harvest earlier or later in the season, depending on climatic influences.
  • The earth has undergone a drastic climatic shift since the beginning of the industrial age.

    Summary

    Is it climatic or climactic? Climactic and climatic are adjectives.

    Climactic means of or relating to the climax of a story or event.
    Climatic means of or relating to the weather.

    Choose vs. Chose

    What is the Difference Between Choose and Chose?

    When to Use Choose

    Choose (pronounced chooze) is a verb that means to pick one thing over another.

    Choose is the simple present tense form of this verb. With a helping or auxiliary verb like will or should, choose becomes the simple future form as well.

    One might choose which sandwich to order from a restaurant, or which night to go out with friends, or which person to marry.

    Here are some examples,

  • Andy has proven time and time again that he will choose money over happiness.
  • “Choose carefully,” the genie said, “for your life hangs in the balance!”

    When to Use Chose

    Chose (pronounced choez) is the simple past tense form of the verb choose.

    Use chose to describe a decision that happened in the past, like in the following examples,

  • The contestant chose what was behind door number three.
  • Gary could have used this time to prepare for the race, but he chose to fool around instead.
  • We were given a choice between coconuts and starvation, and we chose coconuts.

    When to Use Chosen

    The same verb to choose becomes chosen as a past participle, and in past perfect form with an auxiliary verb.

    Use past perfect tense to describe a past event that happened before a related event. Use a past participle to modify a noun, much the same way you would use an adjective. See the sentences below.

  • We had already chosen to stay home by the time Marla called us back.

    Summary

    Is it choose or chose? These two spellings represent different tenses of the same verb.

    Choose is the simple present and future tense forms of the verb to choose, which means to select something instead of something else.

    Chose is the simple past tense form of the same verb.
    You can remember to use choose in the future tense since that word and soon both have a double O.
