Marketing

In standard English the word marketing is used to describe what companies do when they promote a product. It is not used to describe what we do when we go to the market or supermarket.

For example:

My mother does her shopping in Carre Four.
My aunt went to the market to do some shopping.
A lot of money is spent on marketing new products.

Mention

Mention and mentioned are not followed by the word about (same as discuss and discussed).

For example:

The teacher mentioned that next Monday is a public holiday.
