English is not our language, still it is one of the most frequent language used all over the places. English remains an official language alongside Hindi, acting as a neutral link between diverse linguistic regions. It is a central language to higher education and white-collar jobs. English fluency is often linked to education, economic background, and status, driving many to learn it. But are we all well versed with English. Are we using correct Grammar while speaking or punctuation while writing?
*fluent and in flow
There could be broken English, some are too accurate and some completely wayward. I dont consider myself to be perfect in English. I think I am in between broken and accurate. I have issue with vocabulary and sentence formation. The new age kids find English as a swag, mostly due to the reason it allows status in the society. But I still found them going clueless while speaking or writing. Although they speak very fluent with American or British ascent but they do wrong when it comes to writing. Especially when it comes to using punctuation. Recently I came across a post, which has long sentences. No 'comma' or 'full-stop' or other punctuation used. Punctuation is the basics of writing English that were taught in the starting phase. It breaks sentences into manageable parts, organizing thoughts and arguments. Exclamation points, question marks, and strategic commas, Semicolons and colons etc. They were formed to be used un the sentence formation. But I consider, new age is not bothered to use them, as they write the way they speak, fluent and in flow.
Punctuation is the basic of English because it provides structure, clarity, and meaning to written text. Without it, writing becomes a jumble of words, making it difficult to understand the author's intent and leading to misinterpretation. I think it is very crucial things when it comes to blogging. Use of Punctuation adds rhythm and feeling to the words on the content. There is no hurry to write. But when you are good at English then it is important to get the basics right.
As said before, I am not good at my English too. I fumble, I rumble, I mess with my English. I remember, putting under a sword in beginning of my #hive journey. The modern English is too complicated with many words introduced everyday. While many were appears to be similar or identical. Like recently, there was an issue in my comment where the meaning completely gets differ due to choice of a word. I used *"seems identical" whereas it should be "similar" in the sentence. I am thankful to the author he later clarified and we patch up. There is a very minute difference between the two ;
"Seems identical" implies two or more items appear to have absolutely no differences in quality, form, or detail, suggesting they are the same thing.
"Similar" indicates that items share common traits or resemble each other but possess minor, noticeable differences.
It is noteworthy that, Identical means exactly alike, while similar means having a resemblance without being identical. These small difference bring huge difference to the sentence and its meaning. When we are active in a such a platform, and meeting many authors from the globe, it is important to deliver correct message rather than creating chaos. The important part is to realize the mistakes and take necessary steps to rectify rather than duel with it.
In good faith - Peace!!
