Help me figure these out.
Hi,
I have a few questions here.
First, if the word noise is pluralized i.e. noises means sound, is it right?I heard a lady say, " The contestants' focus were disrupted by your noises".
Second, do attitude, behaviour, decorum, disposition and trait mean the same and can they be used inetrchangeably in a sentence?
