and nouns, as _ahead_, _afoot_, _afresh_, also by adding the prefix

_be_, as in _besides_, _beyond_.

We often misspell a number of adverbs by adding _s_ where it does not

rightfully belong; as, _anywheres_, _everywheres_, _backwards_,

_forwards_, _towards_, _upwards_, _downwards_, _afterwards_,

_homewards_, etc. All of these words should be written without the _s_.

two other parts of speech, such as _sometime_, _henceforth_, _forever_,

_overheard_, _outside_, etc.
