MISPLACED CORRELATIVES.—­When conjunctions are used as correlatives, as “both-and,” “either-or,” each of the correlated words should be so placed as to indicate clearly what ideas are to be connected in thought.  This principle is violated in “He not only visited Paris, but Berlin also.” In this sentence the position of “not only” before the verb “visited” leads one to expect some corresponding verb in the second part of the sentence; in fact, however, the two connected words are “Paris” and “Berlin;” “visited” applies to both.  This meaning is clearly indicated by putting “not only” before “Paris:”  thus, “He visited not only Paris, but Berlin also.”  As a rule the word after the first correlative should be the same part of speech as the word after the second correlative.
