If you want to describe the sweetness of a meal, use SCRUMPTIOUS.

I prepared a sumptuous meal. ✖
I prepared a scrumptious meal. ✅

If you want to describe how rich, magnificent, and extravagant a meal looks, use SUMPTUOUS.

The meal we were served was scrumptious. ✖
The meal we were served was sumptuous. ✅

Note: Both words are correct but each one has a context in which it's being used. The sentences were marked wrongly to show that the context it was used was wrong.

A sumptuous meal is more about the presentation and the experience while a scrumptious meal is more about the taste and the enjoyment.

I'm curious.

How have you been using these words?

PORTABLE and POTABLE.

Wrongly I guess.

"Portable".... means something that can be carried or moved around easily. For example, a portable fan, etc.

"Potable".... a liquid that is suitable for drinking. For example, a potable water.

Different pronunciations and spellings.

HERO.........used for any gender.

SHERO........used specifically for females.

HEROINE........used for literary or fictional works, like a female character in a book or movie.

THESE IRREGULAR VERBS SHOULD NOT CHANGE IN THE PAST TENSE FORM:

"Cut"... He cutted the vegetables. ✖✖

"Burst"... The child bursted the balloon. ✖✖

"Broadcast"... The evening news was broadcasted earlier. ✖✖

"Cast"... The director casted him in the movie. ✖✖

"split"... They splitted the money. ✖✖

Note: To be specific and clearer, you can indicate the particular time of the occurrence. For example, he cut the vegetables this morning, she quit the job last month, etc.

In other words, there is nothing like cutted, bursted, broadcasted, quitted, casted, splitted and so many others.

A good day to us all.

HUNT: To find, search, etc.

HAUNT: To trouble, make uneasy, stalk, etc.
