adekunletosin: adekunletosin: No it is not. You were clearly in past tense in your sentence when you used 'caused' and 'saved' and as tenses demand in English, your past tenses must be uniformly used when reporting a past event. |

tosyne2much:Its not bro but Nigerians including the schooled ones do refer that as tautology, kindly check the word 'extreme' in. Cambridge Int'l Dictionary of English P 487. u would see the eg 'at the extreme end of the peninsula' and also p. 481 of the Longman Dic of Contemporary English (new edition) . One can say; extreme south, extreme point, extreme end, extreme limit etc. Extreme end means the place furthest towards the end. 'extreme' functions as an adjective and be confident to use and convince ur friends on the correctness of this expression. |

Committing blunders in English is a thing I do overlook because: (1) English language, although is a world language, doesnt freak me. (2) when I was an amateur language interpreter in my church, I committed uncountable blunders and received different unpalatable responses which made me become thick-skinned. (3) My speaking and writing have developed a great deal over time. Rome wasnt built in a day. Mind d.way u mock 'committers of blunders' !!! |
