I'm a native speaker, but this one popped up in work recently and it really stumped me. This seems to be the best grammatical sense I can make of it, but it still sounds wrong. Myself and James's?

So recently, i have been trying to learn more about advanced english vocabulary. Thanks to this, whenever i encounter a complex "word", i immediately know what it means since i have seen and memorised the definition of that word before. However, it's very hard for me to actually use those advanced words in my writing since i want my essays to become more formal.

I’ve searched online trying to figure out the difference semantically but to no avail. The explanations given both on Cambridge and Oxford dictionaries don’t actually clearly explain the difference. There’s also a term, which is “Mystery Shopper”. Why isn’t it “Mysterious Shopper”? Thank you so much in advance. submitted by /u/Ok_Distribution_8805 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
