Common Mistake: Year End (In) and Year Out

One of the common mistakes that people often make is using the phrase "year end" incorrectly. The correct phrase is actually "year in and year out."

Example:

• Incorrect: We look forward to the holidays year end.
• Correct: We look forward to the holidays year in and year out.

Explanation:

The mistake typically arises from confusion between "year end" and "year in and year out." While "year end" refers to the end of the year or the period leading up to it, "year in and year out" means consistently or continuously over a long period of time.

When we say "year in and year out," we emphasize the repetition and consistency of an action or event. It suggests that something happens consistently every year, without fail.
