ANZAC remembrance
Yesterday was Anzac Day so I thought of how often I have seen remembrance misspelt. It is an important word that is part of common speech even though most of us don’t use it very often aside from near Anzac and Remembrance Days.
The other ‘word’ to be aware of is Anzac…
Anzac stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps so we would generally write it as the acronym ANZAC; however, we only capitalise the first letter as specified in The Protection of the Word “Anzac” Regulations (administered by the Minister for Veteran’s Affairs).
What phase fazes you?
Here is an interesting pair of similar sounding words – I haven’t often seen faze written (and never misused) but perhaps that is because not many people know how to spell or use it?
faze: to worry or scare
The weather predictions didn’t appear to faze anyone at the campsite.
phase: a specific time or stage in a sequence
He is in the drafting phase of the annual report.
