That toilet is not called Water System, neither is it called water cistern. Find out the correct word to use

Your toilet that uses water  is actually not called a 'water cistern'.

Here is why.

Water cistern or cistern is  a reservoir for water in the house.  They supply water to  bathrooms and kitchens.

Usually, here in Nigeria, most people  call water cistern over-head tank.

The toilet in your house is called a flush toilet. It means water is used to flush wastes from it.

When it is a toilet you can sit on,  it is appropriately called 'western toilet'

Also,  those toilets can be called 'water cistern toilets' and not 'water cistern'.

You call them water cistern toilets when a conduit supplies water to the flush toilets through a cistern.

People don't go about defecating in water cisterns. LOL.

Water closet is the outdated name for a flush toilet. Just like prostitute is the outdated name for a whore.

The class is done and dusted.

How to use 'many a' and 'a great deal of' in a sentence. How to pronounce 'impasse'

Good morning KIB  earthlings. Lets get down to brass tacks. Let's look at the use of verbs. Yesterday someone brought a statement to me and enquired if it were correct. 'many a fellow knows the truth' Many a driver ploughs this road daily' 'Many a teacher doesn't know how to  English'. All these sentences are correct. According to Oxford dictionary, Many a: ( formal: always used with a singular noun and a singular verb) means a large number of something. E.g many a young person has experimented with drugs.   So,  don't pluralise anything in the sentence because there is an 'A' already. 'Many a teachers like to flog their students ' is wrong. 'A great deal' How do you use 'a great deal'? A great deal takes a singular verb. E.g A great deal of bananas is planted in the north. 'A great deal' takes a singular verb.  Finally,  the pronunciation of impasse is /'ampa:s/ Not (impas) It's not Enem

Is it 'off head', 'off hand' 'off pat' or 'by heart'?

I love all the new students in my class. You guys are awesome by the way. 😀😀 Today. I want to give you a better expression for saying that 'you know something very well'. #Offhead? There is nothing like offhead. 'I know it off head' is wrong. #Offhand? What does offhand mean? It mean without previous thought or consideration. Just like saying 'on the spur of moment' , 'immediately', 'spontaneously'. So, do you just know something offhand? No...not at all. You can say something offhand, do anything offhand but then it seems weird to say ' I know the answer offhand'. It is normal 'to say the answer offhand'. Do you get my drift? People don't know anything spontaneously, rather, they  say what they already know, spontaneously. Now to the final expression #HaveSomethingOffPat? It means to know something or be able to do something perfectly; be perfect master of something . So rather than say, I know it offha
