𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞, 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞.

Do not pronounce this word as spelt.

It's 'stai.pend' and not 'sti.pend'

Can you make a sentence with stipend?

I hope this helps.

Often, I hear grinded to be the past form of grind. That's a no-no.

The past form of grind is ground.

Ground pepper
Ground crayfish

Guilty or not?

Cheers to the new week, Champions

The word in focus is 'creature'

Don't say; kri-ay-ture
You should rather say; kree-ture

I hope this helps.

This seems like common sense but you'll be surprised to see/hear people do this without even noticing.

Smacking the mouth is a turn-off.

We know that when a word begins with a vowel letter, it takes the article "an"
Here are some exceptions.
In the following words, the digraph "eu" is pronounced as "you" thereby making the words being with the consonant "j'.

That being the case, the article "a" is rather used.
