If I am going to have to engage you in a lengthy discussion ,it is because I seek to destroy your pride.

You wrote :

"#Sighs with resignation".

Rewording the above sentence will result in the following construction:

" I SIGHS WITH RESIGNATION". Goof !! "Gbagaun!" olodo rabata!

LET ME TEACH YOU HOW TO USE THE WORD "MUST".

If you must do something,then you must do another thing. MUST is often used in a sequence .

Hello !

"SIGHS WITH RESIGNATION" is a flawed sentence. (INCORRECT) olodo!

"A SIGH OF RESIGNATION" is the appropriate way to express that emotion.

SMH. Dude.

Not to write too much, but the emboldened describes an action i carried out.

I choose to ignore the myriad insults you hurled at my person and your childish display, while hoping you will be more mature in your responses in future.

Peace.

Weak defence !

1.Described /not describes(it is not universal)

2. I not i (Singular pronoun is written as I not i).

3. An action I carried out? Very awkward tone.

4. I chose(correct) .

You love your chains and you will eventually die in the bondage of ignorance.

POI:

I don't think I have any cause to regret my affront on your person judging by the dull mind you brought to the perusal of my post. How suddenly has the table turned against you ? Did you at any point realise how uncouth you were by those degrading words you posted in this forum? You played a fast one on me and thought you would go home with laurels and a crown on your head?

Driven by pride and envy,you sought to drag me through the mire ,not minding how extremely low you are on the academic ladder. Now that your ego has been bruised I hope you will learn to keep your peace and stay out of trouble.

My two cents is that you need to unlearn a lot of things ,this way you would become a better person rather than a wet blanket .

You know this typical Nigerian mentality to show off everything at every given opportunity ? That's exactly what the guy brought here. He thought he was going to have the last laugh by trying to make fun of my English and ,by extension,derail the thread. But his plan fell through and the table turned against him. Hence ,my strong words .

I urge you to read the second post and form your impression about that guy.
