American/ British English usage?
I suspect this may be an American/ British English problem...
This is from an article written about how to shop "better". (The article is not written by a supermarket) Lastly, bring your own shopping bags with you to the supermarket Can you see any problems with this sentence? |

Firstly is correct. The other should be at last, not lastly...

It would have to be lastly or finally. At last = por fin. Last edited by xchic; March 11, 2010 at 03:31 AM. |

You didn't say what variety you spoke. American or British?

BrE - or English English as I prefer to say! I get very irritated when I hear people say they speak British (as if British is a language, as opposed to BrE)! I think as Here4good said in her original post - it must be a BrE /AmE thing! |

Lo correcto en la frase es llevar tus propias bolsas del super... menos basura siempre es mejor.
