This is a very nice post, very informative and scintillating. It's like someone has talked sense into the heads of mods that kept desecrating this noble forum with many meaningless celebrity poos at the expense of serious matters wasting away in other sections.

Meanwhile;
I got this on my profile by mistake:

"I believe that there is no god/God but Allah and Muhammad is His Prophet."

Can someone help me get rid of it. The thought makes me feel sick. Save my Soul
lol edit ur profile na

Not to worry, it reflected cos u clicked yes on the islam for muslims section probably cos u wish to comment.

It will disappear after seven days provided you don't comment on that section for that same period.

And again, its nothing to worry about as it will do you no harm.

Sallam.

This is one of the beauties of language: it isn't static but it develops with time. The way English was spoken during the era of William Shakespeare is different from modern English. Language is a tool used by humans the way they want. Formerly, the past tense and past participle of the word -"broadcast " was and still "broadcast ". Right now, "broadcasted " is acceptable! Formerly, the word "gay " meant "happy " but now, it means "homosexual " .

hensben:
Demonym (/ˈdɛmənɪm/; δῆμος dẽmos 'people, tribe', ὄνομα ónoma 'name') is a recently minted term. (Previously, the term gentilic had been referenced by the Oxford English Dictionary.) Demonyms are words that are used to identify residents or natives of a particular place. A 'demonym' is also derived from the name of that particular place.Examples of demonyms include Chinese for the natives of China, Swahili for the natives of the Swahili coast, and American for the natives of the United States of America (or sometimes for the natives of the Americas). Just as Americans may refer to two different groups of natives, some particular groups of people may be referred to by multiple demonyms. For example, the natives of the United Kingdom are the British, or the Britons. Demonyms are capitalized.

In languages other than English, a parallel demonym sometimes does not exist, which may lead to the use of an English demonym as a nickname or descriptive adjective of a group of people. The term has not been adopted by the Oxford English Dictionary or the Merriam-Webster dictionary.

English widely includes country-level demonyms - such as "Ethiopian", "Guatemalan", "Japanese", and "French". But English much more rarely includes lower-level demonyms - such as "Seoulite", "Wisconsinite", "Chicagoan", and "Fluminense".Indeed, even some large cities such as Australia's Perth, and many other places, lack a commonly used and accepted "demonic". This poses a particular challenge to those toponymists who research demonyms.

Also, demonyms must be considered a subtype of adjectives and nouns used as appellations.

Hahahaha,
There is nothing you can do. You recently went to the Islam section and that is where you clicked on it. UmIf u notice properly you cannot access Islamic content on niaraland without accepting that damn declaration.
Solution
Mail supermod to help you edit it and if they refused just denounce it on your signature. Best solution is to deactivate your account and create a new similar one.
