What is the plural form of phenomenon? School kids will tell it is phenomena. But what happened to "phenomena" in this newspaper report?
Pachauri said: "Given the variations in the ocean currents, wind patterns and related sedimentation as well as other phenomenons related to the weather..."
The news report also has other usage issues. "The six-member Pachauri Committee, tasked to examine the possibility of cutting a canal through land mass between Dhanuskodi and Rameshwaram,..."
Tasked to? When Task is used as a a verb, 'with' follows it. It can be "tasked with" and not "tasked to".
The third paragraph has a spelling mistake in "environemntally", that too on World Earth Day!
