  • What’s that one word?!

    Hellooo, I forgot a word for something and this will be a sleepless night if I can’t figure it out. Help please!!! What’s it called when something sounds like something else but it isn’t actually. For example, getting a grant for college and thinking it’s free but in actuality you still have to pay net price.

    I'm sorry, but I'm actively forgetting that I read your post, because I'm not certain what word you're referring to & I'd like to get a decent night's sleep. Lol

            Sounds like it's all about Marketing? ) In fact I also have such situations that I forget words, that's why I prefer to use this source https://edubirdie.com/thesis-writing-help to get thesis writing help, it helps me a lot with my writings, being a literature college student I very often have to do a writing, that's why I'm very glad that such a source exists, probably if it wasn't this one, I wouldn't have managed to finish college.
