AI is transforming marketing by enhancing communication and content creation. Although 86% of marketers use AI, only 5% are “AI fluent,” indicating underutilization. Marketers often use AI for short-form content but miss opportunities for communication, content lifecycle, and brand consistency. Marketers lose significant hours to inefficient practices but see productivity and creativity boosts from AI. To maximize AI’s potential, teams should focus on collaborative communication, content production, and maintaining brand consistency. Strategic AI adoption is essential for improving efficiency and competitiveness.

English is a complex language, full of quirks and inconsistencies. Notable oddities include the unreliable “I before E” rule, specific adjective and adverb order, the confusing “ough” sound, and unique infixes for emphasis. The choice between “a” and “an” depends on sound, not spelling. Additionally, some nouns lack corresponding verbs, and the “th” sound is difficult for non-natives. Examples like “ghoti” spelling “fish” illustrate spelling irregularities and stress changes can alter meanings. Lastly, contronyms like “oversight” showcase words with opposing meanings. These complexities make English both challenging and delightful.
