Vivly: 8.Live recording. Damn. All recordings are live. Music and celebrity section please.

9.Safe haven. Literature gurus, Is there such thing as unsafe haven? Havens are by their definitions safe places.

10.First time ever. It's either your first time or it isn't. Decide!

11.General public. This is the most common. All those news being addressed to the general public, unless you're treating certain members of the public as special, all members of the public are general.

12.In one way or another. If it's not true in one way, then it's not freaking true. How can something be true in both ways?

13.Exact same/ exactly the same. The word exact is redundant in this phrase

Prof. Vivly... Have you heard of a studio performance? studio recording? live performance? Live recording? I think you are wrong on live recording... among many others that many nairalanders have pointed out.
Abi u will now say that "live" in "live performance" is redundant because a performance is always live??
Sista park well jare.

Pick 'your call', The call is already your's otherwise It won't come to you in the first place.

Vivly: Unique individual All individuals are unique. They're individuals.

If you've seen one, you've seen them all. Actually, if you've seen one, you've seen one. If you've seen all, you've seen all.

Young boy Are there old boys?

Frozen ice Please, tell me why it's called ice

If you have seen one refers to a particular thing they(the third person) share in common. It might be facial semblance, behaviour or belief. You are now going too far, dear homo grammaticus.

Honest truth A truth is either true or it isn't. Unless it's a politician


A STATEMENT is either true or not

Lol @ a truth :-O

dolapobello1:

Busted!! One should not say "very wrong". The degree of 'wrongness' does not vary and as such, cannot be comparative.
In essence, what you should have said is "that is wrong".

Night Vigil- All vigils are meant to be done at night
Sue to court- Is there any other place you can sue someone?

Yes. You can sue someone to the witches. #Spiritual things#

Vivly: Advance warning Most mods are guilty of this when warning defaulters.

Close proximity Those two words mean the same thing. Why use them together?

In my opinion, i think that This is only used by the insufferable know it all's

Safe bet All bets have an element of risk to them, thus no bet is safe. Instead, use safe option.

Joint collaboration It's either a collaboration or it's a joint effort. It can't be eba and fufu

New innovation Hey, there's a deactivation button o. It's a new innovation. Please, it's either you use new or innovation.

Add yours

the 6th edition of oxford advanced dictionary made same mistake concerning d word ''close proximity'' so u see, no one is above mistake. Even d dictionary too

Just peepin

Most of your so called corrections are misinformed. These are adjectives used to further qualify nouns, or simply commonly used idiomatic or colloquial English expressions.

From the very beginning is a commonly used English expression to show its from the "from the exact point when something starts". So for example, if you say "I started doing it at the beginning of the year", then you could mean anytime in January up till March possibly. However, "I started at the very beginning of the year" suggests that you started on Day 1 of the year.

Small Minority: Again, this may be right usage. If 1 million people make up a minority, is this still a 'small' minority, e.g Africans within the UK or US can be considered a minority. Are they small in size? However, Africans who worship Sango in the UK, or who commit crimes and give everyone else a bad name. These are examples of small minority when compared with the entire population.

Personal belongings: Can multiple people not share ownership of an item, or can an individual not make use of items which don't actually belong to them? I am using a computer which belongs to me (kind of), but I do not own it as it was purchased by my employers, but was given to me to work with. It is my computer, but It's not my personal belonging.

Honest truth: This is an idiom, an expression. Yes the truth should always be honest, but we are humans. e.g "The truth is that I was in class today", "The honest truth is that I was in class today but I wasn't paying attention".

Past experience: Experiences can occur in real time. Past experience suggests a considerable amount of time has passed between you having the experience (it didn't happen yesterday or this morning, or just now).

Old adage: 'Poo happens' is an adage. Is it old?

God bless you holme! for educating and enlightenin the lame egocentric ugly warri vulture. Sincerely, my joy knew no bound whn i saw your rectification. its unambiguous & unequivocal vhat the plug-ugly obdurate b*tch jus wna impress & form ITK for us wit those implausibe & ridiculous doggerel she've been plagiarizing frm Grammer sites & Today fm's ''MindUrGrammer' radio program. may God bless you 1ce agn in surfeit, for refuting her nonsensical assertions.
