Mind Your "Lingua"

Language as a system of communication consisting of sounds, words and grammar, is human-specific i.e. it is basically about humans.One major fact about language is that , though it is dynamic, its changes must be based on strict observance and adherence to linguistic rules. Whenever languages are in contact, interference is bound to occur at all levels of linguistic description.The ability of an individual to be aware of this interference and not blunder grammatically marks him as having the mastery of the language.

...that it is wrong to say"I will do my possible best". - I will do my best possible

...that it is wrong to say"the department comprises of three units" - comprises three units.

...that it is wrong to say"raise up your hand" - raise your hand

...that it is wrong to say"I am contemplating on buying a house" -contemplating buying a house.


The word for now- bimbo: A young woman considered to be attractive but not intelligent.
