Is naught used correctly?We, Bostonians, have done naught to harm the British.
If it isn't right, could you please write it correctly? Thank you.
Other Answers:
Technically you are correct - however it is a convoluted way of saying a simple phrase. Current and normal speaking people would say it as follows:
"We, Bostonians, have done no harm to the British."
It's rather old-fashioned. I'd use 'nothing' instead. Also, you don't need the commas before and after Bostonians.
We Bostonians have done nothing to harm the British.
It's fine. "Naught" is archaic, but presumably a speaker in the American Revolutionary War is the context intended?
