I am not an oceanographer, but was exposed to oceanography during my academic tenure as a sophomore in pursuance of a bachelors degree in Media Arts Major at New Jersey City University. Theoretically, I acquired knowledge in a wide range of topics, including marine life and ecosystems, ocean circulation, plate tectonics and the geology of the seafloor, and the chemical and physical properties of the ocean. This lived experience of enlightenment together with basic sciences in this ambience I have gained knowledge of this study coupled together with my cognition and cognitive skills now as an Author, Cinematographer, Media Art Specialist, License Cultural Practitioner, Podcaster and Publisher caused my skills to grow exponentially in the area of education and research.

To add to this discourse according to Writing Explained in English, homophones are words that are pronounced the same way but do not mean the same thing. Many homophones are different parts of speech. Waive and wave can both be used as a verb, but only one can be used as a noun. In spoken English, we can use context to determine which word is being used, but these words become more confusing in writing, especially as verbs. All things being equal this construc
