Hello,


I want to know which is right:


1. All tickets were purchased by internet /by the Internet.


2. founding anniversay or foundation anniversay



3. Where/what is the final destination?


Thank you. I appreciate your help always.

Dear sabrinak: On #1, I think 'by internet' is better, because using 'by the internet' sounds like the internet is doing the purchasing. But better than that is 'through the internet'. No confusion. On #2, I think 'foundation anniversary' is more common. On #3, I think 'What is the final destination?' is more common. Ok? -- Eric

I would say, "All tickets were bought on the Internet." myself.
