Oscars Wordage

Happy festive season from School of Oscarswodage and Etiquette!

Did you know there's a difference between "Complement of the season" and "Compliment of the season"?

"Complement of the season" refers to something that completes or enhances the festive period, like a perfect gift or a lovely gesture.

"Compliment of the season", on the other hand, is a polite expression of praise or admiration, like wishing someone a joyous holiday season!

Let's spread joy and use our words wisely!

Salon vs Saloon: What's the difference?

In Nigeria, we often use these words interchangeably, but they're not exactly the same 😉

Salon: Beauty treatments, haircuts, and gatherings (e.g., I'm heading to the salon for a makeover)
Saloon: A type of car (British English) or a Wild West bar (American English) (e.g., The sedan saloon is a popular choice)

Simple! Now, go forth and use them correctly 💁‍♀️👸

Pure Water vs. Sachet of Packaged Water

- Pure water typically refers to water that has been treated to remove impurities, minerals, and other substances, often through distillation, reverse osmosis, or other purification processes.

- Sachet of packaged water, on the other hand, is water that has been packaged in small plastic bags (sachets) and may or may not be purified. The quality can vary depending on the source and treatment.

In summary, the main differences lie in the processing and content: pure water is treated for purity, while sachet water's quality can vary.
