May God bless you, Atreides.

We have to walk down this beautiful route with measured steps.
Cart-before-the-horse approach is out of it.

Stevet, give Atreides your YIM account. She needs to 'know' you.
She still doesn't want your no oo.

Re: ABC Of Common Errors And Mistakes In English by Atreides(f): 8:11am On Feb 20, 2011
I used the usual General Maths and as for the Further maths i did f/maths in school so i didn't have to look for any textbooks for Maths for last year's Jamb. My highest score in Jamb was Math-82.
Funny enough i was expecting to score at least as high in English(cos i'm good in English) but i got 69 there. Didn't use any textbooks though. Didn't even use S.E.P or anything because S.E.P doesn'r make sense for Jamb.
Re: ABC Of Common Errors And Mistakes In English by Nobody: 8:18am On Feb 20, 2011

Re: ABC Of Common Errors And Mistakes In English by Nobody: 9:10am On Feb 20, 2011

Inquiry.

Any difference? Or, do they mean the same thing?

Help, please.
