Let me add a few; mannerless: Say she lacks manners cos there is no word like mannerless Convocate - convoke: Do not say convocate, say convoke. No such word as convocate Gist (verb) - Chitchat: Gist can not take verb form so no words like gisted and gisting Cattle rearer - herder There is no such word as cattle rearer or rearer. herder is the right word Eg: Ugochukwu's father is a cattle rearer(wrong) Ugochukwu's father is a herder(right) 18 Likes 1 Share |
