✅ Ditch means to leave, get rid of, or get away from (I ditched my friends at the airport).

✅ Abandon means to leave permanently (We had to abandon our car after we got caught in a storm).

✅ Both of these terms mean to leave something or get away from it.

✅ Ditch is more informal and tends to suggest leaving temporarily rather than permanently (He ditched me to go to a concert; The sailors had to abandon their ship).

✅ A win is a victory or a positive achievement that you’re proud of (Celebrate the little wins: like remembering to drink your coffee while it’s still hot!)

✅ A success is the achievement of your goals and ambitions (her recent success at the award show).

✅ Both of these words refer to achievements that you feel like celebrating.

✅ Win is a more informal term (I need a win this week; I heard about your success at the tournament).

✅ An article is a piece of written work that is usually published in a periodical or journal (The magazine was full of articles and think pieces).

✅ A scoop is a breaking news story first published in a specific newspaper or magazine (I found the scoop in a local newspaper).

✅ A scoop is also an article, but a scoop has to include new information or reveal a breaking story (She got the scoop on the new museum opening), whereas an article can repeat or summarize information.

✅ Article is more general than scoop and can refer to any published nonfiction writing, whether or not it has a journalistic style or relays any newsworthy information (My article on knitting a sweater was published in a magazine).
