      Shorthand is something that I've never been comfortable with. It affected me at a point.A lecturer will be dictating, and I'll be busy writing in calligraphic longhand.

      I'm a faster writer now though, thankfully.

    Stella used "anyways" today. You are really guilty.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Anonymous24 December 2015 at 16:49

    This is very misleading...

    ANYWAYS is an adverb
    BROADCASTED when used as a transitive verb past tense
    ALRIGHT is both an adverb and adjective
    DATA is plural why not Data are plural because its a continuous source of contention
    LOOSE is to loosen e.g. loosen your shoe lace or sth
    YOU NEED NOT e.g. you need not worry about your appearance
    Discussing about... depending on the context

    Stella thanks
    please explain further you know sm pple use blog as reference point so you should be very sure.

  50. The Baby Analyst24 December 2015 at 16:55

    Alright is correct when used informally

    Anyways is correct in informal North American English

    Data is/are is correct (in modern English), depending on usage.
    When data is used as a countable noun, it makes sense to use a plural verb e.g. 'the data (or facts) WERE analysed...'.
    When used as an uncountable noun however, it makes sense to use a singular verb e.g. 'this data (or information) was collected...'

    The one-word spelling 'alright" appeared some 75 years after "all right" itself had reappeared from a 400-year-long absence. Since the early 20th century some critics have insisted 'alright' is wrong, but it has its defenders and its users. It is less frequent than all right but remains in common use especially in journalistic and business publications. It is quite common in fictional dialogue, and is used occasionally in other writing

    Anyway vs. anyways

    Anyways is a colloquial variant of the adverb anyway. It has a casual tone and may be considered out of place in formal or serious writing. In such contexts, anyway is safer.

    Although considered informal, anyways is not wrong. In fact, there is much precedent in English for the adverbial -s suffix, which was common in Old and Middle English and survives today in words such as towards, once, always, and unawares. But while these words survive from a period of English in which the adverbial -s was common, anyways is a modern construction (though it is now several centuries old).

    Anyways is sometimes useful for creating an informal or colloquial tone, which may be what these writers have in mind:

    Anyways, it’s time to move on. [NY Times]

    Whatever. Home Improvement sucked anyways. [Bleacher Report]

    But in writing that is not intended to have a colloquial tone, anyway works in its place—for example:

    Why is Google building a Google phone, anyway? [The Atlantic]

    It can be nearly impossible to see from publicly available data which banks are extending or restructuring loans they believe will one day fail anyway. [Wall Street Journal]

    Anyway, I think it’s pretty hard to make a bad Hurley episode. [Chicago Tribune]
