1. Para-venture

The sentence doesn’t even make sense.

What are you people flaying?!

5. Penetrate

Stop. Please stop.

Do they not realise ‘defile’ is a synonym for ‘rape’??

7. On Seat

Bruhhh… do they mean ‘present’ or ‘available’?

All this big grammar sha…

9. Feedbacks (sometimes written as feed-backs, as if that makes it better)

Da fuq?

10. Severally

What they mean is multiple times…

11. Out To Destroy

Always going for the over dramatic.

What happened to ordinary ‘criticize’?
