Thinking of Hope!


Hope is a wonderful word, rather a wonderful thing, that keeps the world moving.

It is the hope that tomorrow will always be better that keeps the people start everyday.

However, when it comes to the usage of this word, many a time, the hopes are shattered.


Thinking of which, people often mistake the word "hope" for "think" and they hope it is the same.

There is still hope, let's see how it works..


A colleague of mine called me when I was sick and he said


"I hope you are very sick and I think it will take a few days to recover"


Though I got irritated at first, I then realized, what he meant was


"I think you are very sick and I hope you will recover in a few days"


When you say you hope, you are not just thinking, but you are expecting something..

That means, when you hope someone is sick, that means you expect them to get sick which might only be true, when you are in high school and you forgot your math homework hoping that the math teacher gets sick :(


Hope it helps :)

    Thesaurus is to be referred to learn how to use a particular word.
    In fact there is no synonyms; each word is meant to be used at a particular situation. Usage is most important in selection of a word.

Can you be specific” Nate:  “I think so I’m specific” Kate: “Oh Come on, just tell whether they are coming or not” Nate:  “I think so” Pete: “Got it, Stop right there” Nate: “Wasn’t I clear before?” Kate: “Well, when you say ‘I think so they are coming’, you mean, they are coming because you think!’” Nate: “Ah ok, that could be a possibility, right?” Pete: “No way” Nate: “Is it?” Kate: “Yeah, I believe so!” Kyle: “Can someone explain what’s going on here?” Kate: “When someone says  ‘I think so’   that means they agree with the prior statement.

Content vs content

Image
Lata: Haiya, I got my dream job as a content writer Gita: Wow, Glad your job is   content .  never knew such jobs existed.. aren't other writers  content  with their work? Lata: I'm sorry I'm too happy.. can't see what you are pointing out Gita: alright, as you know, English is a phonetic language and the meaning changes with pronunciation, even if spelling is same. Ex. Read (present) vs Read (past) Similarly,  Content with a stress on the first syllable makes it a noun which would mean ingredients. Whereas,  content  with stress on the second syllable makes it an adjective which would mean "satisfied" content  - ' kaan -tent' - noun - ingredients content  - 'kun- tent ' - adjective - satisfied Now I assume your new job is about content writing, right? Lata: I'm a  content   content writer Gita: Nice, what are you  content  with? Lata: With this content , of course 😃 Gita: There you go, hope there is no contentio...

Ravi: Hello Madam, Can you conform the project details according to the guidelines sent by MD today? Kavi: Yes sir, but tell me whether you want me to confirm or conform? Ravi: Would you tell me the difference between them madam? Kavi: Well, Conform means stick to the rules or guidelines like following the rules, not making any deviations, etc Ravi: And Confirm is? Kavi: Confirm means to substantiate or reiterate an information or a fact, like in.. Ravi: like in, clearing a confusion by bringing out the correct information? Kavi: Yup, there you go. Now tell me, what do you want me to do? Confirm or Conform? Ravi: Well, actually, I’d prefer that all the guidelines are conformed and I need you to confirm the same :) Kavi: Ah ha, definitely sir! *** Ex.  Election commission has confirmed that the election protocols were conformed in the recent elections  ############ Previous Post:  Which Way?
