Mobile chat conversations are the nightmares a Grammarian may have. Here is a script by TM Manish from Delhi based on this theme. Have a look.
Mobile has single handedly ruined the years of efforts of our English teachers. They taught us why it’s incorrect to start a sentence with “because” and here we are sending messages that say “coz I wanna eat some pizza.” While a teenager may believe it looks cool, a professional just loses his credibility.
Thankfully, Toastmasters is here to save the day. I am playing the role of Grammarian today “coz you don’t wanna lose your credibility.” As a Grammarian, my role is to look for all the good usage of English, good phrases, words, idioms etc. and also the not so good usage and incorrect pronunciations.
I am also supposed to give you the word of the day. It’s “resilient”
It’s an adjective that means “able to withstand or recover quickly from difficult situations”
An example of a sentence using the word is –
“An idea is the most resilient parasite” from the movie Inception
I hope everyone uses the word to the maximum. I will be back with my report towards the end of the meeting. Thank You
