Though, I am not the right person here, to repair your english.
Since it's like, any divorced lady advising her little sister - " Sachu Sukh Saasariyaa maan " ! ( The real happiness always remains at hubby's home ! )
But still, I hereby take the liberty of making an attempt.
See, if this is what you meant !

Exactly after 1 year of living in Bangalore, some people told me that if you had resigned before 1 year, you would have to return your relocation package.
I do not want to lose money, any further.

All languages, including English, seem to adapt new words and meanings at a more rapid pace in the internet-information age. The (same meaning for the) use of the word "junk" by a passenger being patted down by a TSA employee at a US airport security screening location has been recognized in the forum. Like other words that took on new meanings via popular usage, this word "junk" too would go on to create double entendres in contemporary literature:

*Aunty, Doggy, Puppy, Chevy, Yummy, Dummy... and these kind of words are becoming more and more common.

Aren't the real words be,....Aunt, Dog, Yum, Dum and Pup ?

*the other word is Conveniency.

There is no such word, and still people use this word as per their conveniency! ( Sorry, I mean convenience ! )

...

These four words have on-going battle on the net for years, and every nation holds it differently.

Definate Definite, Definately , Difinitely

Some says,
Definate is definitely wrong.

Others say
Definite is definately wrong.

You decide. ( also, let me know, your final conclusion )

Is "engage" one word or two ?
Bernard Shaw had blamed the linguists for lack of savvy in their arguments in favor of the benefits of reforming the spelling conventions in English langauge, so that we'd be spelling more phonetically.
For example we pronounce the word egg, and do not require it to be spelt y-o-u-g. Whereas when you pronounce the word that is spelt "y-o-u-n-g" we akshully pronounce the word "eng". The Inglish language is full of such idiocy. So when a member posts a subtle reminder of the struggle during the past century to reform the language and correct the mistakes in spelling conventions, it deserves a post in appreciation::thup:

jay_jay;467971Ever wondered, why after having a billion, gazillion people and innumerable educational institutions, India couldn't contribute to science / technology innovation. You also need to know that Indians do invent when they are raised or live in other countries.

Its our culture, environment, the objectives we learn at life matters. The moral instilled at a very engage (which can not just be done by the parents but the environment) is the biggest catalyst on the self esteem, morale of the kid.

Just putting up a big infrastructure at school ( they won't maintain it all and that is a different issue), flashy buildings / cars / staff wouldn't do much unless there is a shift in the psychology.

If the past tense of "seek" is "sought", why isn't the present tense of "thought" is "theek" ?
And "bought" is "beek" and "fought" is "feek" ?
