🚫 “I’m on transit” is incorrect !

✅ “I’m in transit” is the RIGHT way to say it!

You might have said:

“Sorry, I can’t talk now. I’m on transit.” ❌

She’s on transit to Abuja. ❌

But that’s incorrect.
Here’s how to say it properly:

✅ I’m in transit, I’ll call you when I arrive.
✅ She’s currently in transit to Abuja.
✅ Our goods are still in transit.

🔍 “In transit” means you (or something) are in the process of traveling from one place to another — not yet at your destination.

So next time you're moving from point A to B, remember:
🚫 on transit
✅ in transit

“Let's discuss about the issue at hand.” ❌

What's wrong?

The phrase "discuss about" is not a case of tautology (which is the unnecessary repetition of meaning, like "free gift" or "return back"), but rather a case of wrong use of a preposition after a transitive verb.

To clarify:

Transitive verbs are action verbs that require a direct object to complete their meaning. Because the object directly follows the verb, there is usually no need for a preposition between them.

Examples:
1. Discuss about the issue.❌
Discuss the issue.✅
2.Order for a drink.❌
Order a drink.✅
3.Request for a refund.❌
Request a refund.✅
4. Affect on the result.❌
Affect the result.✅
5.Seek for advice.❌
Seek advice.✅

Summary:
Transitive verbs typically do not require prepositions between them and their objects. When a preposition is added unnecessarily, the result is grammatically incorrect.

However, in different constructions (es
pecially when the verb is part of a phrasal verb or when a different meaning is intended), a preposition may follow — but in that case, the verb might be functioning intransitively or idiomatically.

For example:
She reads about history (here, “reads” isn't directly acting on “history,” but referring to a topic — so “about” is appropriate).
