Widely used Indianism in english usage

Today I thought to update this blog after so many days. I was thinking upon some more interesting Indianism to write about. Have you ever said or read statement like:

"Today's class is preponed to 4.30 PM instead of 7 PM, kindly make required arrangements."

This word preponed is so much into use that none ponders about it's std. validity in english usage.

Well, this is a word which is currently used in some parts of the Indian subcontinent as an antonym to the word 'postpone'. Most users of this word do not know that this word is not part of the language in many parts of the English speaking world. The word is succinct and has a precise meaning which makes it difficult to replace with any other word and hence the continued usage with its users. The word 'prepone' is found in The New Oxford Dictionary of English, published 1998. It is listed as being Indian (from India) and is defined as "to bring forward to an earlier date or time.

Example: The publication date has been preponed from July to June.

So, from now onwards, if you want to make use of this word, you should say adjusted.

For example: The publication date has been adjusted from July to June.

On similar grounds, there is one more word that is not part of a std. english usage.

The word is Momento

Often we use this word in our daily conversation. However, actual word is Memento

I bet you must have used something like is many times in your statements.

Sentence: Revert back the changes

If you google or find the dictionary meaning of Revert: To return to a former condition, practice, subject, or belief.

So why do we use Back after Revert??

Correct statement should be: Revert the changes

This one is very hard to belive. one of my friend calls me and updates me about his where abouts,

Friend: Ameya, I am shifting to new home this weekend.

Ameya: Great dude, you are moving to new home this weekend!

Now you can spot the difference right?

Yes, Shifting is a word that is used for only Objects. If you are talking in context of a person, people then always use Moving
