Wednesday – What is the correct sentence? – Mini contest #12
Hello SteemKids and Parents!
Have you ever heard the term “semantic change”?
Well, if you have, I applaud you, and if you don't, don't worry, as I am going to tell you all about it.
Semantic change is the term that is given to words that have changed their meaning over the years.
Here are a few examples:
Word | Original Meaning |
---|---|
Awful | inspiring wonder |
Silly | happy or fortunate |
Bully | good friend or sweetheart |
Nice | silly |
Naughty | poor |
There is always something amusing to discover about the English language.
It is time for the results of contest #11.
Just a reminder that the answer is sent to the admin of the community prior to the contest.
Now, what is the correct sentence?
“We will drive higher profitability and significantly increase efficiency through optimizing our processes.”
And… there is no winner this week!
@nawarm, it was so close!
"We will drive higher profitability by significantly increasing our efficiency through optimizing processes."
Just remember, you have to use the words as is.
Is it a good thing that there was no winner? YES! As of now, the prize is increased with another 2 STEEM.
Time to play!
The contest
I am going to give you a scrambled sentence that you must unscramble. In other words, by using all the words, you must place the words in the correct order so that they form a sentence that makes sense.
How to participate?
- You can reply to this post by posting your sentence, or you can write a quality post of 300+ words with the sentence in it. By writing a post, you can double your earnings if you are a winner.
- You can only enter once
What is up for grabs?
The first correct answer will take home 4 STEEM and if you have written a post I will double the winnings and you can take away 8 STEEM.
Just to be fair, the correct answer is send to the admin of the community prior to the start of the game.
The sentence and the winner will be announced next week on Wednesday; therefore, make sure you don't send in your answer later than Tuesday 23:59 UTC.
If there is no winner, the prize will increase by 2 STEEM each time until there is one.
