Football is getting tougher by the day.

And you guys ask why players are been paid so much
If the rules aren't changing, then it's not getting tougher. Automation only serve to simplify the work of the officials, not to make things tougher for the players. The game remains the same for them

OK

I prefer all standard of beauty.
Sounds like a correct and cool thing to say, but that kind of violates the meaning of the word "prefer". You might accept all standards of beauty but if you had a preference, it definitely can't be all.

Let's just say you don't have a preference, which is valid.

@title: When you say "by science" it would seem as if it's based on some well established scientific theory or law accepted all over the world. Instead of saying science and having people argue unnecessarily, why not mention the name of the organization that made the proclamation so that people would know it's just a group of people having fun?

Anyway, I hope y'all know this is based on how closely the sizes of thier facial features align with what was considered handsome by the ancient Greek. It's about figures and not necessarily the real aesthetics. The concept of beauty is artistic not scientific, and therefore extremely subjective.

Below are some of the considerations

Ok thanks but how come "a la" come turn to "au"?
whats "au"? Or is it le president?
Technically, it should be "a le president". But the preposition "a" and the definit article "le" do not go together. They merge to form "au".

FamilyRe: Why Do Poor Parents Have More Children Than Rich Parents? (pictures) by etrange: 10:17pm On Jun 30, 2022
Because they're doing trial and error. If this one doesn't bring me wealth, the other one will. Parents try to redeem themselves using thier kids. For example, those who couldn't get into thier preferred profession would want their kids to go into that profession, those who admired politics but didn't know enough to discuss it would force thier kids to read newspapers, etc. So the more kids they have, the more chances they get to redeem themselves.

A little correction, you should use "de rien" or "je vous en prie" when someone thanks you, not "bienvenue".

"comment va ta famille" word for word means"how/what goes your family"
Yes, but it's better translated as "how is your family?" "Comment est ta famille ?" also means "how is your family?" but not necessarily used to ask how one's family is doing. I'd rather use it when I want to know how the other person's family is. As in, "my family is very strict, how is your family?"

Language is indeed very powerful. Just see how happy the Igbos are to have him in thier midst. They even gave him money at the end. I'm sure the reaction would be different if he was saying exactly the same thing in Hausa. That's why I'm not surprised Nigeria and Ghana relate as if they don't have a francophone country in-between. Lol

My mother will always tell me to remember where u are coming from and how you left home.

Also remember those u left at home, they are praying and patiently waiting for your success as well.

Meaning when u are out there, tee jeje.

No gallivanting.
If you think like this, then you'd just be existing without living. Even when in Nigeria, you're still "out there" provided you're not in your father's house. The dude went abroad to establish himself just like anyone would go to Lagos or PH to do same. Swimming in Lagos isn't different from swimming in Germany. What happened to him was accident and it could have happened anywhere, home or not. No need to blame the dead.

I know. You don't have to be. I don't really care who's wrong or right. I'm just saying such write-ups are always more engaging when both sides are objectively presented so that the readers would be the ones raising points for whomever they're siding with. Besides, the title made it look like it wasn't opinionated.

Nothing serious, sir. Just an observation.

You could have prevented this without taking sides. That would have made it more interesting and engaging.
FamilyRe: Marriage: My Mother Inlaw Calls My Wife Everyday Is It Proper? by etrange:
Mide70:
calling her morning and evening of everyday? Don't you people know the meaning of marriage ?
Tell us, what is the meaning of marriage? Discarding everyone else in your life? Would you prefer she chats more with her friends? Or do you think that you alone would be sufficient for her social needs as a human being?

Men tend to keep their legion of friends and hang out with them even after marriage. The society makes women to stay away from some of her single friends and virtually anything male after marriage. Even the few friends she's got left, she wouldn't be seeing them as often as she used to cause she's expected to be "homely". The result is that they end up depending on only their husband's to fill thier social needs till she has kids or make friends with the wives of her husband's friends. However, the reality is that the husband cannot completely fill up that social gap. That's why we say women talk to much or always have boring stories we're forced to listen to and that they love excess attention and would nag if they don't get it.

There's nothing wrong with your wife talking with her mum. When she has kids, it'll probably reduce cause she'll have more people to interact with.
