Me I mostly use offhead e.g I know this book offhead,most times I hear people saying offhand... please which of them is correct

Both are incorrect in this context of expression meaning to be able to recite something.
Its. " by heart"

"I know it by heart"
,"I can say it by heart"
" I can recite it by heart".

Lol.. so if you're in an interview with a board of directors and they ask you a question you will respond in Pidgin?

Offhand is the correct word.

So he should promote English language at the detriment of his mother tongue, right?

Offhand is correct while offhead is wrong

Melagros:

Its for the purpose of easy communication, yes!

If the English language is not so important why are you using to communicate me?
Why are people sending their wards to school to learn it?

I don't understand the hate on the English language when it in fact makes life easier for us considering we don't understand our different dialects and languages even as people of same nationality.

Hahaha u don catch me

. So if you know you're going to use the English language then use it right.

Therefore It's " I know it by heart " not " off. Hand"

Off hand is correct

Offleg

Jewessgratitud3:

It is " I know it off lit "

Stop misleading people

You know it "By Heart".
That's the correct answer.

Who told you offhand isn't correct? When you answer a question without premeditation it is known as offhand. Don't come here and mislead impressionable people.

Bade007:

Offhand is correct.

Jewessgratitude3 wants to tell us that offhand that we were taught during our school days is wrong?

Offhand wey Sir Paul use flog shege comot for me head that year is not correct?
I can recite the book of Psalms offhand ✔️
I can recite the book of Psalms extempore ✔️
I can recite the book of Psalms by heart ✔️

In this context. Its Offhand as against Offhead.

✅ Offhand means “without preparation; casually thoughtless or inconsiderate.”


❌ Offhead means 'to not be in control of your behaviour because you have drunk too much alcohol or taken drugs:

Jewessgratitud3:
Both are incorrect.
Its. " by heart"

"I know it by heart"
,"I can say it by heart"
" I can recite it by heart".

..Hmm English teacher 👏..Offhand is correct.
