Both
The sentence, "The two children both resembled each other," will be
greatly improved by omitting the word both. So also in "These baskets
are both alike," "William and I both went to Cuba."
But that
"I do not doubt but that my uncle will come." The sentence is shorter
and more clear without the word but. "I have no idea but that the crew
was drowned." Here but is necessary. Without it the opposite meaning
would be conveyed.
Equally as well
"James did it well, but Henry did it equally as well." As well or
equally well should be used instead of equally as well. "This method
will be equally as efficacious." Omit as.
Everywheres
"I have looked everywheres for the book, and I cannot find it." This
is a vulgarism that should be avoided. Say everywhere.
Feel like
"I feel like as if I should be sick." The word like is unnecessary.

Few
"There are a few persons who read well." This sentence will be
improved by saying, "Few persons read well.
