"Alternately" when I meant "alternatively".
Still donβt know the difference.
"Alternately" means "switching back and forth" like "She spoke rapidly, alternately English and Spanish, whichever came more readily to her tongue."
"Alternatively" means "as another option", like "We usually go with Bob in this situation; alternatively, I think Rudi is ready to try this solo."

enormity means serious or grave, not very large.
terrific isnβt always great or amazing; it can be synonymous with terrifying.
