I overheard someone making an earnest effort to pronounce the "l" in "palm," saying "Palllllm Sunday, and the coach in me couldn’t help but feel a bit unsettled. 😂
Never pronounce the "l" in:
PALM
HALF
WALK
TALK
CALM
ALMOND
A considerable amount of them still remain.

Some people erroneously say that a traffic jam is one in which the vehicles are at a standstill, while a "go-slow" is one in which the vehicles move slowly. Says who? This sounds ridiculous.
Go-slow means strike.
The right word is gridlock.

Take a course today!

[Juliet Ifeoma Obijiaku @ebasicsdiction]

The word "go-slow" should not be used among the educated to mean "traffic jam."
The word "gallop" has nothing to do "pothole."
"Gallop" means the fastest pace of a horse or to proceed at great speed.
How did we coin these errors?

When sending birthday wishes or any message, it is essential to express your thoughts fully and clearly.
Please what is "Happy Birthday, LLNP MMNTC IJN?"
There is no communication and clarity here.

[Juliet Ifeoma Obijiaku @ebasicsdiction]

It seems we have gradually normalized using "an" before every word beginning with "h."
Could someone explain the reason behind this, please?

Examples:
An house ❌
An hotel ❌
An hospital ❌
An heart attack ❌
An humble person ❌

... and the list continues.
