Another example, Weisenheimer:

This sentence, illustrating one of the uses of the word "both", comes from the Cambridge International Dictionary, an English dictionary for foreigners:

Tension continued to grow on both sides of the border.

That same thought could be expressed, quite correctly, as follows:

Tension continued to grow on each side of the border.

I should also like to return to another point. This is not a thread for one-up-manship, for "getting" the other guy. It is a thread for people who love language, and who share that love with one another.
