GRAMMATICAL Blunder We Need To Address by gsparks01(m): 5:04am On Jul 30, 2015
Good morning to all‼
I created a topic not so long ago in a bid to correct the error most make in our daily conversations but unfortunately, it didn't reach the expected audience. I noticed this same mistake in some posts on nairaland again and I feel it needs to be corrected Now (It's not a matter of life and death or something)

Id like to make a correction to how 'rest assured' is being used in sentences
I'm no grammarian mind you, but the persistent wrong use of it in speech and in writing has prompted me to talk about it. Here goes;
"I want you to be rest assured"....> WRONG! just stop it please!!
"I want you to be rest assured".....> CORRECT!

This is meant for educative purpose. I know some people use it ignorantly; you're welcome. Some also know the right thing but still can't stop for whatever reason; continu
It'll be great if this could be seen by all

Thanks! MODIFIED

ADMISSION! ADMISSION!! ADMISSION!!!
Cry no more,GAIN ADMISSION into 200 level through an IJMBE A'level program into any University of your choice without JAMB.

Every year, hundreds of thousand candidates sit for JAMB (UTME), but at the end just a few percentages of all the students that go through the pain of writing the exam do make it and afterwards you still have to pass the post utme exam before you can secure an admission. DO YOU NOW HAVE TO TRY THIS EVERY YEAR WHEN THERE IS A SURE AND BETTER WAY OUT FOR YOU? YES YOU HEARD ME, A BETTER WAY OUT.

The good news for admission seekers like you is that you don’t have to wait for another jamb before you gain your admission, not even to 100 level but 200 level of your university of choice.
