Who's Morpheus.

SuperNover:

Temporary accommodation should still be on I think.

nolio:

blueto:
I think I have tolerated and assented enough of your botchy infractions. and I presume its time I refute your inexpugnable perceptions relating to the way you dispense your execrable flaws.

Contingent according to the dictionary means 'Liable but not certain to occur'
I was skeptical concerning the successful implimentation of the meeting exercise, so that was why I enunciated Contingent, because I wasn't certain about it, since supernover complained about the dissatifaction express by presciented participants of the meeting and later relinquished the responsiblity to Robinhez to decide the proceedings.
and I followed it up with 'are we sticking to the plan?'

Someone with a good logical thinking faculty can easily fathom my message!

Dude I have learnt that disputes are not worth my precious time so I will leave the case here.
But stop this accentuation of your incompetency in elocutions.

Pardon me if there is any erroreous spelling, it was done our of indignation, of which have just subsided.

TheBrokenSoul:
I dey talk where e dey pain Me,person dey busy de like the post.... What's likeable there?


Hm... I hope no be them dey keep tabs on me...

Hey buddy! You need to breathe easy and slow down. I'm a pacifist, I don't believe in fighting, therefore don't allow your imagination to run away with you. I wouldn't want this to become a frenzied activity and as such degenerate into a free-for-all. I'm sorry if my post drove you bonkers. But I needed to play the devil's advocate because your misuse of the word was conspicuously glaring. Anyway, I claim no expertise in this, I've got some smattering of chink in my armour as well. That said, let me school you on the power and importance of oracy because it is delicately poised. William Penn, an exceptional rhetorician who seemed to have kissed the blarney stone quipped: "Speak properly, and in as few words as you can, but always plainly; for the end of speech is not ostentation, but to be understood." I think you need to completely debug unnecessary glitches fixed in your writing habits. These glitches, when they add up, make you harder to understand, less
assertive and can even make you sound
sloppy and fatuous. Don’t use big words when simpler words can do.
One of the disadvantages of having a
big vocabulary is you feel the desire to
inflict it on everybody. Great speakers
use shorter words when they fill the
same purpose as a large one. (I’ll admit my writing could probably use a
better application of this rule as well). In the words of John Ortberg "Human conversation is largely an endless
attempt to convince others that we are more assertive or clever or generous or successful than they might think if we did not carefully educate them."
Permit me to draw your attention to the misuse of "CONTINGENT" in that phrase. In your words, you said "IS IT CONTINGENT?". Hmm! In no unertain terms, I beg to say, the use of "contingent" in that phrase negates the English law of concord and phrasal noun usage. Let's get to know the meaning of the word.
First off, according to Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English and Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary of Current English; two results were given. The first entry goes thus--- CONTINGENT refers to " a group of people who all have something in common, such as their beliefs, nationality, etc." The second entry which I think is where you got it all wrong----
CONTINGENT refers to "something that may happen in the future." WHAT YOU FAIL TO UNDERSTAND IS THAT CONTINGENT GOES HAND-IN-HAND WITH A PREPOSITION--- "ON/UPON." Any attempt to ignore the preposition will be tantamount to breaking the law of concord and phrasal noun usage, and that was what you clearly did. I hope you grasp the drift buddy? Take a look at this sentence --- "further investment is contingent upon the company's profit performance." That's how the cookies crumble.
According to English etymology, a person who uses big words incorrectly just in bid to display intelligence is a "malaprop".Malapropism (also called a Dogberryism) is the use of an incorrect word in place of a word with a similar sound which results in a n onsencical utterance .
Am I in anyway against the use of big words? Absolutely not! Language is never static. It's dynamic and it morphes every now and then. Big words help to spice up and add flavour to our speeches and write-ups. But my major gripe is using those words out of context. When big words are used wrongly, you end up making an appalling exhibition of yourself. Let's not make a monkey out of ourselves by using big words out of context.
Ray360, what's your take on this issue?

SuperNover:

Oh "in the arms of Morpheus" is an idiomatic expression, it means to be 'fast Asleep'.


Morpheus, son of Hypnos, is the Greek god of sleep.

SuperNover:
