[w!otd] and more!

PASTIME (noun) - hobby; activity done in one's spare time 


The week is almost over so I've decided to write a new entry on my blog. I've got a word here which is pretty interesting 'coz it is one of those commonly used words that's also commonly misspelled. Some who use this word tend to spell it in two words, as in PAST TIME. The thought is basically doing something to PASS the TIME. But instead of creating your own dictionary, check the right ones and get used to it. That way, you'll be able to formulate grammatically correct sentences. Being ungrammatical is pretty viral sometimes, you know. I, myself, am not a walking dictionary but believe me, learning from corrected mistakes in English can help you grow in using the language effectively. Make it as your PASTIME.

Cliche it is, but yeah, English is damn confusing.
