[quote author=Samstyle post=62286768]Here are some confusing English Words/Phrases You probable do Not know. I advise you read this post assiduously and take note of the words below.


1. ALRIGHT

Do you know that the word "alright " is a
wrong word. However, there is no reason for
this, but, its correct form should be "all right".
You should also note that "Already, Almost,
Almighty and Altogether" are correct.


2. THE USE OF "THAT"


The following sentences are wrong


a. I had no idea the house was THAT small.
b. As a pianist he isn't really THAT good.

This use of "THAT" is wrong and is to be avoided. The correct form of the above
sentences are:

a. As a pianist he isn't really as good as that

b. I had no idea that the house was as small as that.

The common expression "that much " and
" that many " should be " as much as" and "as
many as that"


6. OUGHT TO

" He ought to, didn't he? " is something we often hear. The correct construction is, " He
ought to, oughtnt't he? Or ought he not? ".

I'm sorry, op, to differ on the above. I advise you carry out proper research before posting next time.


7. CIRCUMSTANCES

" Circumstances " are the events around something. Therefore it is wrong to say " under the circumstances " the correct use
is " in the circumstances ".

come to think about this. How can you be fighting for one united Nigeria from a secessionist side and at the same time trying to liberate western region from northern troops. The whole essay deserves better editing to cohere. You don't just publish anything because you think you can write and or speak good English. A writer is a creator with a great sense and knowledge of logic and not a promoter of emotional fallacy as in V. Banjo first son's account. I for one do not accept anything published. I try to verify the authenticity of the logic.

You can't be my friend only to use my property and wealth to further your course which is against mine. In the light of this I will declare you enemy of my course and a back stabber.

V Banjo's should re-edit the contents of their essays before the final publication to avoid the sincere contradiction of V. Banjo's life course.

Just a piece of advice to them, though.

Hanabian:
..Exactly how did the two of this incompatible oxymoronic pathetic pair of a crimogenic delinquent and dependencia non-symbiotic earthlings meet?

Case closed!
