>> ENGLISH WITHOUT TEARS>> I want to correct a very common blunder which im very sure you make every time.You cant say you are not guilty of this grammar crime. TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE? Every marriage ceremony is a traditional thing.Even the-so-called white wedding or church wedding is a traditional marriage ceremony style of the english,so its completely out of place to say TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE.There is nothing like that in the entire english language dictionary.English purists say it is MARRIAGE ACCORDING TO CUSTOM and not the popular TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE (TM). Take it or leave,that is the right thing to say.It doesnt matter if nobody calls it that way.After all the phrase ALL HANDS MUST BE ON DECK is very wrong.It is ALL HANDS TO THE PUMP Thats the right usage.Its not popular but its right. Dont miss out my English without tears series.Learn something worthwhile while chatting here.
