Alright, it's blogging time! For the past one week, it has been a relatively dull period for blogs. Seems that there was some sort of a pandemic in the local blogosphere that infected everyone with a mental block. Which means people had no inspiration to blog in short

I will have one or two of them at the end of every post for at least a month so stay tuned. I shall start from the letter A
Above-mentioned
This is one of those old-fashioned phrases from our great-grandfather's generation which refer to whatever was in the subject heading or paragragh above. This phrase should not be used in modern 21st century writing. It sounds so "out"
Instead of "Thank you for registering for the the above-mentioned course", say "Thank you for registering for this course"
If the subject is in plural form, then use the word "these" instead of "this" but never "above", "above-mentioned" or the typical "said"
