Is 'Raise your hand' correct? Is Extreme end tautology?


If your teacher had taught you that  'raise your hand' is wrong,  just know that you have been wrongly schooled.
You can say 'raise your hand'  or 'put up your hand'.  Meanwhile,  'raise your hand' is more frequently used.
'raise up your hand' is tautology .

"Have you seen a movie? "

The 'see' here implies having sat in a Theatre/cinema to watch a movie.  It is still correct to say one watched a video.  I mean,  who were these people who began teaching these wrong English expressions. 

Bogus doesn't mean 'oversized' rather it simply means 'untrue'

By the way...  'Extreme end' and 'extreme limit' are correct expressions. They are boldly written in the dictionary.  Ask Professor Joy Eyisi,  she will tell you that these expressions are  proper English expressions.

Those of you that are keen on correcting me, please do.  I am here to learn as well.  That's why I have you here.

I love you all

Is it correct to say I waybilled it to you? A few expressions you probably don't understand

Good morning KIB students. Thank you for showing immense love to your teacher. Many of you understand how draining it could be for someone to consistently post here on Facebook. I appreciate those who ensure that my bank account doesn't  get flooded with cockroaches😃. Anyway, let's get down to brass tacks. What is a waybill? a waybill is a list that contains  names of people and goods to be conveyed from one location to another. It is that book where you write your name before entering a bus. There is an air waybill, sea waybill etc. Waybill cannot be verbalised. I want to waybill some goods to you❌ If you are looking for a verb to replace  the erroneous 'waybill', here are two genuinely accepted words to use. 1.
