I found a great grammar blog. Maybe I'll learn how to stop splitting my infinitives.
Here are the comments about Amid vs. Amidst.
Seems it's better to use "amid" or "amidst" when talking about things. For example, "Amid her academic inquiries..." "Among" is used for people, i think. For example, "While he was among his peers..."
I'm still not understanding why to use "amid" rather than "amidst" - seems like, in scholarly language, those folks go with 'amid.'
Joel? Have any thoughts?
