One Another Or Each Other?

[joko]

They both mean basically the same thing and are used interchangeably, but apparently 'One Another' is more formal & often used in reference to 2 or more people or things, whereas 'Each Other' is more often used to mean just 2 people or things, but thats not a rule, just that organically theyre often used that way.

I dont think i have ever written or said, 'One Another' in my life, its just not part of my speech - but for some reason I have 'noticed' when someone else uses it, i dont know why, i have no good or bad opinion of it, its just not how people where i live tend to speak.

So just wondering which people favour - or do you use both equally, or like me only one - or even none!

I dont really care or anything, its not keeping me awake at night, im just mildly curious if they are both as popular as each other. (i just wrote that without even realising it)

Thanks 😀

Each other 😀

I mix and match and don't really think about it.

Be nice to one another.

Be nice to each other.

Either one.

Growing up as a twin, my bro and I were bombarded with "one another" on numerous occasions, so tends to be my usage these days.

This brings to mind a song by Oasis called Acquiesce (Sleeping In Our Soul). 

I hope this works.

🎵Because we need each other
We believe in one another
And I know we're going to uncover
What's sleepin' in our soul
Because we need each other
We believe in one another
I know we're going to uncover
What's sleepin' in our soul
What's sleepin' in our soul🎵

There was a spammer posting ... gibberish on several threads, this might have been one?
