Most of the things children 'know' is what we(teachers) told them; not what they have experienced.

Telling a child to “write neatly” is often where the problem starts.

It sounds like guidance, but for many children, it’s too vague to act on. What actually helps is showing them what to change. How to space their words, how to form letters clearly, and how to control their hands' movements while writing.

When those things are taught simply and directly, improvement becomes easier to see and sustain.

ETIQUETTE AND GROOMING

SWEAR WORDS

🙏🏽Do not swear indiscriminately. Members of royalty do not swear unnecessarily.

📍 Uttering 'God forbid!' at the slightest provocation is not only impolite but childish.

🤔Tell a girl of 15 that she would one day be a mother and she immediately replies "God forbid!" So, I wonder, what God is forbidding? Tell someone that you were involved in an accident and he shouts "God forbid!" Tell someone that the transport fare is doubled and he goes "God forbid!"

☝🏾 Remember that 'God forbid' means something so be careful 💅 how you use it before God starts forbidding good things from happening to you.

👌🏾It is the height of impoliteness to use the name of God in vain: you may actually be in contempt of God's court. Avoid the phrase by deciding to start taking responsibility.

🤔 Some people go for the "I swear!" phrase. So you hear a lot of expressions like:

1. "I swear; I had nothing to do with it!"
2. " I swear; I've never met this man before!"
3. " I swear; I did not mean to insult you!"
4. " I swear; I'll deal with you!"
5. " I swear; you won't get away with this!"

👌🏾It marks you out as impolite, uncivil and pedestrian. Cultured people won't take you seriously. Why do you have to swear?

✨Civilised people do not swear; crude cowards and unrepentant liars do.

🤔 The good book 📖 says let your 'yes' be 'yes' and your 'no' be 'no.'

👌🏾Swearing is a manifestation of double standards.

Hope you got value...

Did you know that NYSC, CBN, EFCC, etc. are not acronyms?

Yes, you read that right!

If they aren't acronyms, then what are they?

Why worry, when I’m right here!😄

First, know that they're both abbreviations. However, before I tell you what exactly they are called, let's talk about acronyms.

An acronym is a type of abbreviation formed from the first letters of a series of words and are pronounced as a single word.

Examples:
RAM = Random Access Memory
ROM = Read-Only Memory

You're beginning to see that these are different from the abbreviations I mentioned at the beginning of this post, right?

Those ones are formed when the first letters of a series of words are taken to form a new term, and they are pronounced letter by letter.

They are called Initialisms.

Examples:
AC = Air Conditioner
CNN = Cable News Network
EFCC = Economic and Financial Crimes Commission

In conclusion, while both initialisms and acronyms are abbreviations, they are not the same. Initialisms are pronounced letter by letter, whereas acronyms are pronounced as words.

Did you get it?

Oh! Lest I forget, here’s a piece of advice: avoid overusing them.

Don’t overload your text with too many initialisms or acronyms, as it can make your writing difficult to follow.

I hope you found this post helpful?

To be sure that you understood what I’ve said so far, give me one initialism and two acronyms, along with their meanings.
