Some words misused by Nigerians and even the learned. . Copyright : No part of this should be transmitted to an unknown source without prior consent and allowance by the author or acknowledgement. This was written by Richie of [URL=http://chatinent.com.ng]Chatinent [/URL]. . 1. And Also. Sentence example: [s]Go to my house and bring my pen, and also bring my book.[/s] . “And also” is redundant; say just “and” or “also.” Using both makes one constructs a bad sentence, or poorly constructed sentence. To attain proficiency in English as language, we must learn to avoid making these types of mistakes. . . 2. So therefore. Sentence example: [s]Adding both will equal two, so therefore, we minus.[/s] . When "so" and "therefore" are implemented as conjunctions, a choice must be made between them, not using both adjacent to another. . . 3. Insulting and Insultive. People have lampoooned 'insultive' being a word nut really really, it is a word. When sb uses insulting words on you, they are being insultive. However, do use 'insulting.' . . 4. You can give me an information. Hello? An information? You say give me some information or give me a piece of information . Information as a word is an uncountable noun and should be treated as such. . .
