Stop derailing the trend and move on with your trash abi na eze2000 write the dictionary wey him quote? Educate yourself broadly you no gree na to kiss airsaylongcon ass and seek eze2000 you sabi

Eze2000:
If you don't know anything and can't understand anything where others do how is it my problem for heaven's sake?

Or do you have a problem using the same Wikipedia and crosschecking with other such knowledge pools?

Please, please, don't quote me again.

Eze2000:
Do you see how many likes you have up there on that post which reeks of ignorance? It is one reason I stopped writing stuff on Nairaland. With an illiteracy level of over 180 million people (graduates included), Nigerians still don't read. We believe in cheating in exams and insulting people with genuine knowledge and a willingness to help. For one thing, look at the president you elected and the chaos of a country that his next level.

Permit me to educate you a little bit, but you do not have to read it all, mind you. Let's begin with your own English errors.


1. For one to beginning a sentence, a paragraph, in particular, the way you have done without a determiner might be acceptable to you or those who liked your post, even many Nigerians, but guess what? That is horrible!

Your sentence should begin thus: A published author and you......



2. From your writing so far, you seem to have a serious quarrel with punctuations. The comment in which you insulted me lacks a full stop at the end, but unforgivable is the shambles that are your next two comments. Particularly the last.





Those who live in glass houses shouldn't be throwing stones, sir.




3. You are clearly blind in both eyes or you would never have made the statement below...

I'm sure you'd also call "I'm" am.

You see, in that comment of mine you quoted, I actually used the "correct" and "complete" form of the phase you have indicated and I repeat "I am a published author!" *(Check out the screenshot of your own quote below)
I rarely write American English on NL or use its version of the phrase in question here, which many consider an abbreviation (I'm). I do not know how to use the Nigerian foul English version of the phrase either (am). Most often than not, I use the correct queen's English version (I am)


4. Now let's take on the particular word(s) that you feel discredits me entirely as an author...

And you call a thread a "trend"?


What is wrong with you, my good friend, is that you have been roaming Nairaland daily for too many years and here, very few speak good English, most of them hardly ever comment too. On this platform, over a million people like you have been calling developing comment lines a thread, but guess what? Over a million people like you are horribly wrong!!!


Thread
You see a "thread" is that fine rope your mother used to use and your tailor currently uses to sew your clothes. However, a "thread" can also be defined as the simplest or smallest sequence of programmed instructions executable by a completer.


Trend
On the other hand, the Standard English dictionary defines a "trend" thus...
1. A general direction in which something is developing or changing.
2. A fashion.

Now, here is my problem. As a published author and intellectual with a vast knowledge base, I am well aware that there are two official versions of the English Language which can actually contradict each other in certain cases so I never trust the Standard English dictionary completely. In fact, I have four massive dictionaries on my PC alone, that's apart from the attached encyclopedias, mind you. So now let's see what my beloved Cambridge Advanced Learners dictionary and the Encarta Dictionaries have to say...

Combining their definition of "Trend" with respect to the subject...

*(of a topic) be the subject of many posts on a social media website or application within a short period of time.



Ahhhhhhh... now the sh*it has hit the fan, as my American cousin would say. Now you know why they say a photo, a comment or something, is trending on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram and not "threading" like you would say here on Nairaland. You've actually learned something new here today, haven't you?


It would seem that in ignorance, you have called me out and insulted me too for a load of rubbish. I forgive you despite that fact that you have already gotten 3 likes on your comment! They are just illiterates liking you in their own ignorance so I am not bothered at all.




One more thing...


Some of the best authors in the world speak bad English. Ever heard of James Hardley Chase? He speaks American street English better, hence, the tone of his books, all of which have been bestsellers for decades!
What truly makes an author is his talent, something that cannot be taught in any school or institution.

I am a legend over in the Literature section of this forum and my first book, Ruthless Betrayals, when first published here in April 2016 as a first draft, was so full of errors, but guess what? It drove women and men crazy and still does today, two editions later. Don't take my word for it, check out the "trend". The story has been moved to my website but the comments are still there.

I sold that book for #500 per copy initially, then increased the price to #750 per copy and people still bought it then came back to thank me!!! It's all there in the trend (remember not thread). Hit the link below.

My second work, a thrilling story about Boko Haram, A Billionaire's Ransom was a killer that was also full of errors when first published here on this forum. Today, after one edition, the entire series of 3 books sells for $$$ on Amazon USA, UK, Canada, etc. The Book1 is free on Okadabooks and the rest are just #500, all subsidized for Nigerians, fuel subsidy style.

The thing is when an author first writes a book it is never published right away but passed on to an "EDITOR or put through an editing software" for polishing! That first work of the author is called a first draft which is normally full of errors, after the touch of an editor, those errors vanish and that first draft becomes the original manuscript which is then published as a book. We authors and writers are the reasons why editors have jobs.




Mr. Airsaylongcon, stop insulting people even where they are ignorant or err. Correct them and be polite about it. I swear to God, you will not die if you do things that way.


I bid you a good Sunday, sir.

People keep shouting, be an entrepreneur, be your own boss, be this, be that...

I develop Android apps and I just felt like, let me push this app to the general public and it just seems like I'm missing something.

The development was by far the easiest part, you see the part where you start marketing your app, its 3x more complex than the development of the app itself.

3 good weeks, 4 downloads, nice figures... I've been lazy tho but at least, my app ain't that bad, and yes, I run Facebook ads and that's what I got from it, 4 downloads, maybe my budget wasn't big enough but I think 3k, asin three thousand naira should give me more than 4 downloads.

Now I'm asking this question, how do you'll advertise a new app with low budget and getting maximum results?
