𝗙𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗢𝗨𝗧𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗡𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗦 𝗚𝗣𝗧-𝟰𝗼 𝗖𝗔𝗡 𝗗𝗢 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗬𝗢𝗨  Recently, OpenAI launched GPT-4o, and it’s absolutely incredible. The standout feature is the human-like voice chat, making conversations feel natural and engaging. While the free edition limits your daily questions, the premium version is definitely worth a try.

 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 t...

 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...

I was reading a novel yesterday, and I came across this sentence: “The food is very delicious.” As a proofreader, I knew it was grammatically incorrect. Why is it incorrect? The word "delicious" is a non-gradable adjective. Gradable adjectives are those that can be compared using words like "big," "bigger," "biggest." You can’t say "deliciouser/more delicious" or "deliciousest" – or can you? (LOL) So, it’s wrong to say "very delicious." Other non-gradable adjectives that don’t take "very" include "dead," "ancient," "awful," "boiling," "enormous," and "excellent." We only use "very" with gradable adjectives, such as "tall," "fast," "thin," etc. However, one can say "the food is absolutely/really delicious." The food is delicious. ✅ The food is really delicious. ✅ The food is absolutely delicious. ✅ T...
