In the modern workplace, “in the office” and “at the office” are often used interchangeably, but they actually mean different things. In the Office: This refers to being physically present at the workplace. It means occupying a desk, attending meetings in person, and interacting face-to-face with colleagues. You have direct access to office resources and experience the workplace culture firsthand. At the Office: This term is more flexible. It includes being involved in work-related activities, whether you’re physically at the workplace or working remotely. It focuses on your professional role and responsibilities, regardless of your location. So you can be anywhere, so far you are doing office related activities, you are at the office. For example, 1-      I’ll be IN THE OFFICE all day tomorrow, so we can discuss the project in person. Explanation: The speaker is physically going to be at their workplace for the entire day.

As a current NYSC corp member who got inaugurated recently, I examined the lyrics of the NYSC Anthem. The line that caught my attention was the third line in the first verse: "Under the sun or in the rain." 📌 The phrase "under the sun" should be corrected to "in the sun." "Under the sun" is an idiom meaning "on earth" or "in existence," used to emphasize a large number of something. This meaning does not correlate with the context of the anthem.  For example: 1. The library had every book under the sun on its shelves. 2. There is nothing new under the sun. 📌 On the other hand, "in the sun" refers to being exposed to sunlight or being outdoors in sunny weather, which fits the context of the anthem. For example: 1. They spent the afternoon relaxing in the sun at the park. 2. The flowers thrive in the sun, blooming beautifully. 📌 Secondly, in the last stanza, the first line "Far and near" should be correcte

 𝗗𝗢 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗙𝗥𝗬 𝗚𝗔𝗥𝗥𝗜 𝗢𝗥 𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗔𝗠 𝗚𝗔𝗥𝗥𝗜❓ Garri (Cassava flakes), also known as “grocery or G4”, is a popular West African food made from cassava tubers. It goes through a lot process before it becomes a finished product. Is it fried or steamed after fermenting, Pressing and Sieving?

 Aʀᴇ ʏᴏᴜ ᴛʜᴇ ᴄᴇʟᴇʙʀᴀɴᴛ ᴏʀ ᴛʜᴇ ʜᴏsᴛ? Is it correct to describe somebody who is throwing a party, a birthday party or such occasions as CELEBRANT? For example.  Ladies and gentlemen, let us sing a happy birthday song to the celebrant. Celebrant as used in Nigeria means somebody who is celebrating. But strictly speaking, in Native Standard English, the celebrant is not the one who is celebrating. 📌 CELEBRANT A celebrant is a priest who conducts a Mass or a Religious ceremony, or the person that direct and executes the activities of an occasion or a ceremony. According to Oxford  dictionary, 9th  edition,  a celebrant is a person who performs a rite, especially a priest at the Eucharist. For example 1. The celebrant conducted a beautiful wedding ceremony in the serene garden. 2. As the celebrant of the religious service, she offered words of comfort to the grieving congregation. 3. The celebrant led the graduation ceremony with enthusiasm and pride. N.B: I am not the saying the word Celeb

 𝗡𝗲𝘄𝗹𝘆 𝗪𝗲𝗱𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝘃𝘀. 𝗡𝗲𝘄𝗹𝘆-𝗪𝗲𝗱.  I was reading a tweet about the importance of getting married early recently. The writer used the phrase "the newly-wedded couple," and I found myself questioning its grammaticality. "Newly wedded" seems incorrect; the appropriate term should be "newly-wed."  "Newly-wed" can function as both a noun and an adjective. As an adjective, it describes individuals or couples who have recently married, while as a noun, it refers to someone who has recently married. When used in its plural form, "newlyweds" describes people who have recently married each other. Examples as adjectives: 📌 The newly-wed wife danced at their reception. 📌 The newly-wed husband cooked dinner. 📌 The newly-wed pair watched the sunset. 📌 The newly-wed duo kissed breathlessly. 😤 📌 The newly-wed couple embarked on their honeymoon. Examples as nouns: 📌 The newly-weds shared a joyous dance at their reception. 📌 The n
