I hope you are not been cynical Martinosi. I am impressed by this topic and it is the most brilliant posts i have encountered on nairaland.
We are in an age where one's ability to communicate effectvely opens up doors and brings forth opportunities. The advantages of good communication skills cannot be overemphasised be it job interviews, career advancement, politics, pitching business ideas, writing, not to talk of one's conficence and self esteem.
I am glad nairalanders have shown their appreciation of this post by their levelof interest and engagement.

I guess 'launch' is appropriate for a Missile, a Rocket, an Invasion but not for investigation, campaign or enquiry. I am not sure, i would appreciate the correct answers.

Odunnu:

The correct version is:

  Maker of trouble .

- Procrastination is a theft of time

I think the correct version is 'procrastination is the thief of time'. An old saying credited to Edward Young, an English poet.


It means delay NOT.

DEFFERENCE: Behaviour that shows that you respect something/somebody. Not countable.

INDIFFERENCE: Lack of interest (respect?) towards something/somebody. Not countable.

Hi,

ASSUME and PRESUME
PLEDGE and PROMISE
AMUSE and BEMUSED
TERRIFY and PETRIFY

ASSUME and PRESUME: Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary explained these words as SYNONYMS.

PLEDGE and PROMISE: The same dico describes PLEDGE as a serious PROMISE.

AMUSE and BEMUSED: AMUSE is a verb. BEMUSED is an adjective. AMUSE means ENTERTAIN. BEMUSED means BEWILDERED. BEMUSED also means PETRIFIED, TERRIFIED.

TERRIFY and PETRIFY: They are SYNONYMS. PETRIFY also means 'to change something into a substance'.

Ok Dkaz,

Abeg, comot for this thread.

Abeg. Please.

You are the man!

Odunnu:

I was asking if its troublemaker or trouble maker

Odunnu, it's 'troublemaker'.

Good job you got it right.

Some people think 'troublemaker' means 'troubleshooter'.

In fact, it means the OPPOSITE.

Incorrect: May be I should tell her.

Correct: Maybe I should tell her.

Use of English.

Please note:

Names of American sports teams always start with 'the' (at least most).

Names of British sports teams ALMOST never do.

The Jazz are having a great season - - - American English.

Chelsea have started the season well - - - - British English.

In American English, singular verbs are used when refering to teams.

In British English, The verbs are ALWAYS plural.

Eg.

Cincinnati is having a great season - - - American English.

Arsenal are having a great season - - - British English.


Always write/say:

Arsenal are/have;

Chelsea are/have;

Man U are/have.


Do not write/say:

Arsenal is/has;

Chelsea is/has;

Man U is/has.
