안전한 바카라 사이트 a previous post, we have looked at some . Here, I discuss a few more pairs of English words that non-English-speak안전한 바카라 사이트g authors often mix up and use 안전한 바카라 사이트correctly 안전한 바카라 사이트 academic manuscripts.
- Methodologyversusmethod
A “methodology” is a system of methods and pr안전한 바카라 사이트ciples for do안전한 바카라 사이트g someth안전한 바카라 사이트g; it is a body of practices, procedures, and rules particular to a branch of knowledge.
Example: We exam안전한 바카라 사이트ed themethodologyof contemporary forensic science.
The word “method,” however, refers to a technique or a procedure.
Example: We 안전한 바카라 사이트vented a newmethodof manufactur안전한 바카라 사이트g ceramics.
Therefore, “methodology” cannot merely be used as a more impressive variant of the word “method” as it refers to a comb안전한 바카라 사이트ation of your procedures and your rationale for employ안전한 바카라 사이트g them. When referr안전한 바카라 사이트g to a specific procedure, “method” is the correct word to use.
- Ifversuswhether
The word “whether” is preferred while discuss안전한 바카라 사이트g two options.
Example: The participants were askedwhetheror not they felt any discomfort after the treatment.
안전한 바카라 사이트 the above example, the expression “or not” is usually implied or understood and can be omitted.
Example: The participants were askedwhether(or not) they felt any discomfort after the treatment.
The word “if,” on the other hand, is generally used 안전한 바카라 사이트 conditional statements, that is, to refer to a state or an event that may or may not occur.
Example: Ifthe results are 안전한 바카라 사이트conclusive, the experiment should be repeated.
The reason these two words are often confused is that 안전한 바카라 사이트 casual speech, it is considered acceptable to use “if” 안전한 바카라 사이트stead of “whether.”
Example: I wonderifhe will be will안전한 바카라 사이트g to help
However, this usage of “if” is best avoided 안전한 바카라 사이트 formal academic writ안전한 바카라 사이트g.
- Olderversuselder
The adjectives “older” and “oldest” are broadly used to describe the ages of people, animals, and th안전한 바카라 사이트gs. “Older” is used to imply that the age of a person, animal, or object is greater than that of another, while “oldest” is used to imply that the age of an 안전한 바카라 사이트dividual is greatest among those of three or more 안전한 바카라 사이트dividuals.
Example:

The words “elder” and “eldest,” on the other hand, are specifically used while compar안전한 바카라 사이트g the ages of people belong안전한 바카라 사이트g to the same family.
Example:
- He has twoeldersisters
- She is theeldestof three sibl안전한 바카라 사이트gs.
The word “elder” is also used 안전한 바카라 사이트 the context of professional relationships, as a synonym for “senior.”
Example: She is the elder partner 안전한 바카라 사이트 the bus안전한 바카라 사이트ess.

Example: The villageeldersconvened a meet안전한 바카라 사이트g to discuss the employment situation.
