MizMyColi:'Riposte' does not exactly seem apposite for the sentence. 'Antiphon/Vibes' would have been better. 2. Do you really cachinnate just like an old drunk? That would be pejorative. 'Sot' here would mean 'a customary chain drunkard'. Right? 1 Like |

thronekid: I meant Google, not you. Lol. Yeah. @Megawax8 Floccinaucinihilipification means being in the habit of deeming stuff as worthless. |

Here is mine (though a bit outside the stated ambits but hey, stretch your limits): 1. My entrails are practically writhing in appeasing fractures. (State in it's most un-ornate form.) 2. 56 rainy seasons ago, Azikiwe became free from the freedom barrack at the Whites when he took a repose he never returned from. State in it's simplest form and if necessarily possible, correct whatever anomaly the sentence might breed. Cc: MizMyColi and others. |

thronekid: Sorry about the late response. Market tins 1. Entrails would mean your insides.... 2. Writhing would mean reeling in pain... 3. Fractures would mean a breakage or dislocation 4. Appeasing would mean to pacify or make up to. Are you trying to say you enjoy the pain Second 56 years ago, Azikiwe returned from exile or went into exile. Right? @e-kiss has been taken by ayobase.

thronekid:1. I am hungry. 2. 56 years ago, Nnamdi Azikiwe was freed from making freedom based protests when he died. (Someone correct this. It is not correct grammatically. If you can, you are superbly wow!) None got any. Not even 1. A kiss, MizMyColi? |

luxanne:1. Entrails: Intestines 2. Repose: Rest 2. Un-ornate: Easy But this was not required of you, ma'am. |
Re: Nairaland Residents' Grammar Diary... by Nobody: 5:46pm On Jul 25, 2015 |
MizMyColi:Both are wrong. 1. 'Fractures' here means 'screams'. 2. 'Writhing' does not necessarily stand for reeling in pain. You have to fathom a word's connection to an expression first, ma, not the word itself. |
Re: Nairaland Residents' Grammar Diary... by Nobody: 5:48pm On Jul 25, 2015 |
Specialist900:1. English excercises, sir. 2. Of course! |
Re: Nairaland Residents' Grammar Diary... by luxanne(f): 5:51pm On Jul 25, 2015 |
MizMyColi: Checked the word afterwards, here: As used in the context, ***Freedom from activity (work or strain or responsibility). Synonyms: Ease, Relaxation, Rest. MizMyColi: The he he he laughter in between tho, hilarious |
