Re: [www.keralites.net] a word in english



The word is "Advance". Eg:
"Can you please advance the ticket of 10th November to 1st November?" Yes, there is no word "Prepone" though this word has now come to be accepted since even leading English language newspapers have started using this. Similarly, I have been seeing increasing use of the phrase "Are you going to go?", which is quite hilarious since a simple "Are you going?" will suffice; but then this is "Inglish" by Indians (no offence meant).
