What is the proper usage of not only. . . but also? Not only did my friend Joe help me out, but he also drove me to the university Not only does my pet dog bite me, but he also barks at me ;-) Not only are there students in the room, but also parents (here, the parents are there part is not quite required, so you don't have to say but parents are also there because it's implied )

Correct use of circa - English Language Usage Stack Exchange Typically you only see it for dates (for example, "she was born circa 1920") The Wiktionary article on 'circa' implies (but doesn't explicitly state) in the usage notes that it's used for dates and measures, so your examples of “circa Pacific Coast Highway” or “circa $300,000” appear to be incorrect
