Affect vs Effect

Affect နဲ႕ effect စကားလံုး ၂လံုးဟာ မ်ားေသာအားျဖင့္ လြဲမွားတတ္ပါတယ္
Affect is usually a verb (action), which means to influence, act upon, or change something or someone. (တစံုတခုေၾကာင့္ အက်ိဳးသက္ေရာက္မႈရွိသည္)

by vs until

Both until and by indicate “any time before, but not later than.”

Until tells us how long a situation continues. If something happens until a particular time, you stop doing it at that time.
(သတ္မွတ္ထားတဲ့အခ်ိန္မွာ လုပ္ေဆာင္၍ျပီးဆံုးျခင္း)
For example:
They lived in a small house until September 2003.
(They stopped living there in September.)

I will be away until Wednesday.
(I will be back on Wednesday.)

We also use until in negative sentences. (အျငင္း၀ါက်ေတြမွာလည္း until ကိုသံုးသည္။)
For example:
Details will not be available until January.
(January is the earliest you can expect to receive the details.)

If something happens by a particular time, it happens at or before that time. It is often used to indicate a deadline. (သတ္မွတ္ခ်ိန္မတုိင္မီထိ လုပ္ေဆာင္ျခင္း)
For example:
You have to finish by August 31.
(August 31 is the last day you can finish; you may finish before this date.)

We also use by when asking questions. (အေမး၀ါက်မ်ားတြင္လည္း by ကိုသံုးသည္)
For example:
Will the details be available by December?
(This asks if they will be ready no later than December.)


personal vs personnel

Personal is an adjective.(ကိုယ္ေရးကိုယ္တာ၊ ကိုယ္ပိုင္၊ ပုဂၢိဳလ္ေရး)
It can mean relating to or belonging to someone.
For example: Your personal belongings are the things that belong to you.

It can relate to the private parts of someone's life, including their relationships and feelings.
For example: If you have personal problems, it means you have problems that are private and sensitive to you. Perhaps problems in a relationship.

It can also mean something that is designed for or used by one person.
For example: a personal computer or stereo.

And it can relate to your body
For example: when talk about personal hygiene.

Personnel is a noun. (အမႈထမ္း၊ ၀န္ထမ္းေရးရာဌာန)
The people who work for an organisation are the personnel.
For example: military personnel are the members of an army.

The department of an organisation that deals with finding people to work there, keeping records about them, etc is the Personnel Department. The head of that department is the personnel manager.
For example: "I need to speak to someone in Personnel."

Many businesses have renamed their Personnel Department to 'The Human Resources Department' or HRD for short.


fewer vs less

Everyone gets this wrong - including native speakers. The general rule is to use fewer for things you can count (individually), and less for things you can only measure
(ေရတြက္လုိ႕ရတဲ့အရာေတြဆို fewer ကုိသံုးျပီး less ကိုေတာ့ ေရတြက္လုိ႕ေတာ့ မရေပမယ့္ တုိင္းတာလုိ႕ရတဲ့ ေနရာေတြမွာ သံုးပါတယ္)
For example:
There were fewer days below freezing last winter. (Days can be counted.)

I drink less coffee than she does. (Coffee cannot be counted individually it has to be measured).

!Note - "Less" has to do with how much. "Fewer" has to do with how many.
