English was not my strong point in school, well, actually school was not my strong point.
COVID means Corona Virus Disease, which I would call acronym
Is COVID a word or a acronym?
I wasn't so good in school either, but I've tried to improve since then. I can't say I've had much success but I've noticed I'm much
better now with;"you're" vs "your"; and "break" vs "brake" and now, once again, I've learned something. I love when that happens
even if sometimes public mistake/correction learning is more embarrassing than other learning. Nothing online is as embarrassing
as examination of some of the lines I've taken through corners, so I get over my online embarrassment easily, relatively speaking.
I believe you are correct Strawboss, and I was wrong about (co)VID being a syllable and you are correct about it being a acronym.
I still don't understand semicolons but I toss them out occasionally hoping
some forum member will be overly sensitive* to their misuse on my part and
will react by explaining them to me, in ALL CAPS if needed.
* see how I stayed on topic there?
