I want to discuss today a bit of what we all know ..the English language.I wish to discuss the most commonly words that are being used with confusion.
Some words that click in my mind are
Sweet vs Sweat
Sweet is a taste for eg sweet sugar a property of a substance. Whereas Sweat is a body component which is released when the body wants to maintain its temperature.
beside vs besides
beside is sitting next besides is other way eg: i know German besides English.
quite vs quite
quite: "The blog is quite good"
quiet: "Students be quiet."
principle vs principal
principle is abstract
Satyagraha and ahimsa were the principles followed by Gandhiji
Our college's principal is Mr Smith.
did vs deed
deed is an activity
did is a work done
you can suggest more and we will discuss here.I will try to add more words soon.
