vocabulary deep dive:

1. “it’s” v.s. “its”

“It’s” is short for “it is”. i.e. It is a tree.

“Its…” is something that belongs to “it”. i.e. I have a dog. Its color is black and white.

2. “wonder” v.s. “want to know”

“wonder” has a softer tone. It feels more like questioning.

“want to know” has a sense of order. It could feel like you’re requesting an answer.

3. “associate” v.s. “sales assotiate”

“associate” is a verb, to link something with. i.e. Pandas are often associated with cuteness.

In “sales associate”, “associate” is similar to “assistant”. i.e. We are looking for a sales associate.

Because I don’t think it’s life is not math, there’s no right or wrong.
