We can either say :-
Why am I NOT getting any email...?
or : Why aren't I .....................?
Don’t use ALTHOUGH and BUT in the same sentence:

Although Jo is mean, but she is still my friend. →

Delete one or the other.
SINGULAR → PLURAL:

Knife 🔪 → knives. 🔪🔪

Wife 👰 → wives. 👰👰

Life → lives.

However,

Fife (a flute) → *fifes*, not “fives.”
4 = “four,” but it’s *FORTY*, not “fourty.”
9 = “nine,” but it’s *NINTH*, not “nineth.”
12 = “twelve,” but it’s *TWELFTH*, not “twelveth.”


40 is FORTY (not “fourty”) and 90 is NINETY (not “ninty”), but 4th is FOURTH (not “forth”) and 9th is NINTH (not “nineth”).

"In spite of" and "despite" mean the same thing, but "despite" usually sounds more formal.
Prophecy [PROF-uh-see] (n.) = prediction

Prophesy [PROF-uh-sigh] (v.) = to predict

We *prophesied* 👩🔮 that you would have a great week. 🙌
