Never posted in here before, but I know this will be the best place to ask!
My daughter keeps using the word recollection in one particular sentence that I think sounds wrong.
She has applied for colleges recently, one was fee paying and the only way she could have gone is if she went on a full scholarship. She was offered the place but no mention was made of the scholarship.
So, she was telling people when asked 'I was offered the place, but they made no recollection of the scholarship'
Who's right?
Many thanks!!
