ঢাকা বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়ের নৃবিজ্ঞান বিভাগে পড়ি এবং নিজের ক্ষুদ্রতা ও জ্ঞানের স্বল্পতা স্বীকার করি। নিজেকে বুদ্ধিজীবী ভাবি না। ঐ বয়সটা পার করে এসেছি।

Compare. “To compare to” is to point out resemblances, or imply resemblances, between objects regarded as essentially of a different order. “To compare with” is mainly to point out differences between objects regarded as essentially of the same order. Thus life has been compared to a pilgrimage, to a drama, to a battle; Congress may be compared with the British Parliament. Paris has been compared to ancient Athens; it may be compared with modern London.


.....


Consider. Not followed by “as” when it means “believe to be,” as in “I consider him thoroughly competent.” Compare “The lecturer considered Cromwell first as soldier and second as administrator,” where “considered” means “examined” or “discussed.”


....


Due to. Incorrectly used for “through,” “because of,” or “owing to” in adverbial phrases such as “He lost the first game due to carelessness.” In its correct use, it is related to a particular noun as predicate or as modifier, as in “This invention is due to Edison”; “losses due to preventable fires.



.....


However. In the meaning “nevertheless,” it should not come first in its sentence or clause. Incorrect is: “The roads were almost impassable. However, we at last succeeded in reaching camp.” Correct is: “The roads were almost impassable. At last, however, we succeeded in reaching camp.” When “however” comes first, it means “in whatever way” or “to whatever extent.” Examples: “However you advise him, he will probably do as he thinks best.” “However discouraging the prospect, he never lost heart.”
