 Hello, I am Mrs. Geetha Rinduwar, Assistant Professor of Communication Skills, Department of Humanities and Sciences, Walchen Institute of Technology, Sulapur. In this session, today we are going to discuss about the use of glitches in English grammar. This is a very interesting topic, learning outcome. At the end of this session, student will be able to apply English grammar effectively in their day-to-day communication. So, in this session, I will discuss on all these points that the introduction, then definition, characteristics of glitches and use of glitches in sentences. So, introduction, while communicating, it is very important to choose words carefully. Glitter and careless language effects our ability to communicate effectively. So, it is very important to recognize words or expressions that weaken our messages. These are the words that affect our effective communication. So, let us discuss what is the meaning of the term glitch. So, the definition of glitch, a glitch is a saying, image or idea which has been used so much that it sounds terribly uncreating. The word glitch, it was originally franged for the sound of printing plate which prints the same over and over, so glitches using glitch is considered bad writing and speaking because they make it sound like you did not put any thought into your words. Good writers and good speakers try to thoughtful and original language rather than glitches in their work. So now, we are going to discuss about some of the characteristics of glitch. The first characteristics, glitches are by definition common and overused. They can be found frequently, but you may not notice them because we take them for granted. See the examples, every cloud has a silver lining. This glitch we are using in our day to day communication. The meaning of it is that even in bad situation, you can usually find something good. The next example is easy as a pie and the meaning is very easy. The third example is take a chill pill. The meaning of this glitch is to relax. The next characteristics, glitches are sometimes ideas, images or character rather than phrases and examples are the first one, the damsel in distress. The meaning is a young attractive woman is incompetent and in need of someone else to rescue. The second example is the superhero and the meaning is one who saves the damsel in distress often strong and good looking. So, sometimes glitches are ideas or images or may be in the form of character. The next characteristics is glitches tend to simplify and dramatize. These glitches make casting seem shallow and therefore uninteresting. So, the example is to describe falling in love. To describe falling in love, the glitch is used as she fell head over heels. The meaning of this glitch is that we are describing that falling in love. He or she is falling in love. The next characteristics is glitches are very common in popular in books, poems, movies, TV shows, speeches and advertisements. Many glitches have their origins in classics like Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. So, this is the example arose by any other name would smell as sweet, then all that glitters is not a gold. This example is from Merchant of Venice. Next one is jealousy is the green eyed mobster. This example is from Othello. The next characteristics is although glitches should usually be avoided, they can be used for comedic effect or in works where original or deep thoughts are not expected such as TV shows or movies like romantic comedies and superheroes blockbuster. The example alive and well is a glitch from the movie The Last Song. Here are some of the examples of glitches. The first example is all that glitters is not a gold, then all for one and one for all. The next one is he has his tail between his legs. The next one is and they all lived happily ever after. The next example is read between the lines. Then in the nick of time, just a matter of time, next one is brave as lion, then all is fair in love and war and the last one is a waste of time. All these glitches we are using in our day to day communication. Although critics advise against glitches, they are important because they express ideas and thoughts that are widespread and common within a culture. Hence the phrase glitch but true, yet in our culture we tend to dislike glitches. Because we place a high value on creativity, originality and cleverness rather than on repetition and using other people's words. So, that is why glitches are avoided in our daily life. So, these are the references, these are the links I have used to make my PPT. Thank you and have a nice day.
