\n\t<\/span>If you do this, ask yourself if you would write alittle <\/em>or afew<\/em>. Of course not, right? So please don't write alot! <\/em>
\n\t<\/span>For example:
\n\t<\/span>There are a lot<\/em> of blunders in this blog.
\n\tA lot <\/em>of people will attend the event.<\/p>\n
\n\tIf so, you don't need the word back<\/em> – it's completely redundant!
\n\tFor example:
\n\tI must return<\/em> the shoes because they are too big.<\/p>\n
\n\tWhen comparing things that are similar, use compare with<\/strong>.
\n\tFor example:
\n\tMy life has been compared to<\/em> a soap opera.
\n\tRipples on the water can be compared to<\/em> frosting on a cake.
\n\tUS Congress may be compared with <\/em>the British Parliament.
\n\tCompared with<\/em> running, walking is better for people with knee problems.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe word discuss<\/strong> means to talk about<\/em>, so if you say discuss about<\/em>, you are saying talk about about<\/em>.
\n\tThe same applies when you use the word mention<\/strong>. We don’t need about<\/em>.
\n\tFor example:
\n\tMary mentioned<\/em> that her report was overdue.
\n\tI want to discuss<\/em> the agenda for next week's meeting.
\n\tIn Shirley’s workshop we discussed <\/em>the new rules for effective writing.<\/p>\n
\n\tEvery day <\/strong>as two words are adjective and noun.
\n\tFor example:
\n\tMaking your bed is an everyday<\/em> chore.
\n\tI get the bus to work every day<\/em>.
\n\tHaving to write e-mails is an everyday<\/em> task. <\/p>\n
