Run outta thread

I'm always confused about the usage of advice and advise

datola:
When did Microsoft become English language expert

online data collection...read the post

Opakan2:
I'm or "I am' and Am

I so hate to see this.. why write "Am coming" instead of "I am coming" or "I'm coming"
Even graduates make this mistake and it's bad

They will tell you "since you understood what they meant to say, that's all that matters". They want the economy to be fixed, not not their English...because it is not their "mother tongue"

Laziness!

Good one but simple


I thought is going to be something else

EbukaHades10:
They forgot "I'm and Am"

thats common among nigerians,not other part of the world

Your and you're


Loose and loosen.
Most people say : I want to “loose” my hair instead of saying “ I want to loosen my hair”

Loose and lose top the list here in Nigeria.

informative!!

dejt4u:
Avoid and afford confuse and convince I'm and am

This one is mostly by Nigerians. esp our ladies

The no 6 though. My rule (and it's the correct rule) is if the first syllable sounds like a vowel, use "an"; but if it sounds like a consonant, use 'a'.

E.g. 'A University'; A unanimous decision' [b]'a hospital'[/b]etc
' an accountant' etc

burkingx:

This got me LOL.

These are simple things I learnt primary school. Buy the book Mastering English, that book will lay bare everything about English.

There is even a mistake in your first paragraph. Data/reveal

Your and you're

dejt4u:
Avoid and afford
confuse and convince
I'm and am

Avoid-keep away from something or someone that may be dangerous or cause problem. Why are you avoiding me? Afford-what you can pay for. How much can you afford? I'm is the contracted form of I-subject pronoun and am-primary verb. So I'm is the same as I am. am is just a primary verb and should never be used to start a sentence. What confuses people between I'm and am is that they sound alike in pronunciation. I'm coming correct am coming wrong.Confuse is to set a person at loss mentally while convince is to persuade a person to agree with your view or opinion. I'm not an English Teacher. Hope I tried a little

Nunber 1 and 9 have always been my problems.

Thanks to Google and OP for this clarification.

I'll be at your place in a while to stay for awhile.

Correct?

stationary and stationery,appendices and appendixes.English na wa o.

Nice one. Also people are fond of interchanging YOU'RE and YOUR.
E.g (Instead of) I think you're(u're) right.
It now becomes... I think your(ur) right.
