§Grammar and usage

Usage: 'revert back' is a common error because revert already means 'go back', so write 'revert to normal', not 'revert back to normal'.

Usage में 'revert back' एक आम गलती है क्योंकि revert का अर्थ ही 'वापस जाना' है, इसलिए 'revert to normal' लिखें, 'revert back to normal' नहीं।
