Errors of spoken and written English

English for Today by Ganiu Abisoye Bamgbose (GAB)

Note these:

She was rich beyond her wildest dream (not, widest dream).

She is taller than I (not, more taller than I). The use of double comparison must be avoided.

He is my brother (not, blood brother). Brothers are necessarily related by blood.

You had better do what I said (not, You better do what I said).
