I couldn't just imagine having an affair with the man. One I was afraid the ppl who killed the woman could be within. That was my major fear. I'm back with my girl's dad. Atimes I wish to know how the children and their dad are doing now. They used to live down Adetola Street,Aguda. Can't remember the No but I know it's a three-storey building while his office was at NEPA Aguda where chicken republic is built now..
Awww, okay.

We pray they're doing well and also hope he got married again. It's really tough losing a spouse to the cold hands of death.

Please can staph reduce my husbands semen mortility? The semen count was 144.4 million with 40% mortile cells in January but last month the semen count was 138.2 million with only 10 uh% mortile cells. Please what can we do? We had staph but mine has cleared and his is yet to clear.
I would think that semen with sperm count of 138.2 million is very much enough for conception, considering the fact that only 15 to 20 million is considered fertile.

Trust me, my dear.

we will write plethora of books if we should do speculate on that. a lot of people like to destroy what they don't understand or it's not within the confine of their mediocrity. it's part of the human psychic. it's akin to a swarm of termites waiting for the wind of their collective sneer to break me like a tree, so they can feed on me and pull me back to the common jungle.


XhosaNostra whom i was having a tete-a-tete with, had no problem, it is people who it isn't their business. anyway, I'm impervious to them, and usually ignore them, but felt oblige to respond when Ishilove whom i like and should've known me better right from my nascent on this fora, seem to join the bandwagon.


winkwinkwink


you know, I usually ignore this kind of your petty post, but i feel called upon to educate and slough your ignorance, so you don't go brandishing it with reckless chutzpah next time

there are more than one way to express the same thing, just like 'vast' is the most apt word to use in the context i used it.
I know endeavoring you to read up on figurative expression will be tantamount to the worsest carnage of human history, if measured in material quantity, so I'll ask you to check number 4 definition of the pics below, or check this link>>> https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/vast


Now, fvck off to a well deserved oblivion.
No Mr. Knowitall, aka Mr. Showboater, you are the one to _fuck off to oblivion with your infantile grasp of the English language. Yes, it's obvious that you are not yet proficient in the use of English. Employing verbosity and archaic words in your write-up can barely mask it.

There are numerous errors in those posts of yours, but I picked out that one because most Nigerians commit that blunder and it's annoying. Instead of taking corrections from someone who knows more than you in that regard, you've elected to further exhibit your cluelessness and crass stupidity. Quite nauseating!

You have a long way to go in learning the use of English. The entry you made reference to clearly stated what 'vast' means. It said a great degree or intensity of something. It never suggested you can use it in the sense you used it - 'I am vast'. Referring to yourself as vast instead of whatever knowledge you assume you have. It is a totally wrong English expression. You can have vast knowledge or skill but can never be seen as vast. You can only say 'I am versed'.

Get that into your thick skull full of nothing but conceit, Mr. Knowitall aka Mr. Showboater.

As you can see from my last post, I definitely know the difference between "versed" and "vast" and have never pronounced them the same. I took this this up not for the sake of argument, but because I saw something wrong in what you said.

You are taking the statement too literally. The word "vast" can definitely be used in a figurative sense, more akin to the definition you provided in number (4). His meaning can be implied; I am [intellectually] vast enough to know everything about communication. the word "everything" is our context, showing that he could use either "versed" or "vast".

I maintain that there is nothing wrong with what he said. In fact your own construction was a lot clumsier...almost nobody refers to themselves as being "versed" in something, even if it is technically grammatically correct. A more appropriate wording would be "well-versed".

Language is not just about grammar...there is a balancing of grammar, meaning, intrinsic aesthetic and inference...

Human beings are in fact, extremely vast. In the metaphorical sense of the word...
I have exhausted all I could muster to tutor you in the previous post but it's obvious you're completely incorrigible and prefer to stick with your Nigerian English. Do carry on. Gracias.
Nairaland GeneralRe: Drop Your Most Embarrassing Moment - Let’s Laugh A Little by gozzlin:

yes it has an entirely different meaning, but its still correct

"Vast" enough to know everything about communication ... like intellectually broad or versatile enough

"versed" enough to know everything about communication...able in terms of vocabulary

both make sense, though what he used was better

if he meant "versed", he would have said "well-versed" enough, since "versed" would sound strange in this context
Why do you choose to engage in an unnecessary argument just for the sake of argument? For your information 'vast' can never be used in that sense you are alluding to. Because Nigerians use it in their written English does not make it correct. Nigerians are known to commit the most atrocious blunders in their written and spoken English.

It's totally inexcusable. If you read literary works of native English speakers and listen to them speak, you'll never see where they committed the unpardonable of saying 'I'm vast'. That's a wrong English expression.

Here is Dictionary.com's definition of 'vast'.

adjective, vast·er, vast·est.


1. Of very great area or extent; immense: eg. vast reaches of outer space.

2. Of very great size or proportions; huge; enormous: eg. Vast piles of rubble left in the wake of the war.

3. very great in number, quantity, amount, etc.: Eg. Vast sums of money.

4. very great in degree, intensity, etc.:
Eg. An artisan of vast skill.


Now here's the same dictionary's definition of 'versed' as an adjective.

Thoroughly knowledgeable (about), acquainted (with), or skilled (in) something.


I repeat, you cannot be vast. A human being cannot be vast. But you can be versed in something. You can also have vast knowledge or skill but can never be vast.

Nigerians make this mistake mostly because most of them do not pronounce English words correctly. They give the same pronunciation to the two words 'vast' and 'versed' and it's really appalling. You do not use English words as you use the words in your language. It has rules that must be strictly adhered to especially in formal settings. If you're in doubt you can always consult your English dictionary.

I went to great lengths to type out this elaborate explanation so that you should desist from such atrocious errors in your daily use of English, it leaves a very poor impression.

It can be either "versed" or "vast", either one fits.

Dont know why everybody wants to finish the guy....the stuff he writes is cool...
No ma, either cannot fit. Vast has an entirely different meaning. Consult your dictionary.

don't you think I'm vast enough to know everything about communication? or you think i need the opinion of other people to inform me on that?
when I write; it's for me and others who are acclimatize with my writing genre or have predilection for it. any other lexical dilettante is very welcome to ignore and pass accordingly, I mean as many as they come, cos I've got no patience for quibbling over my writing choice.

Ishilove:
I told the congregation, during Sunday service to open to Isaiah 45 vs 26 and told someone to read. She stood up, opened her bible, leafed through it for several seconds, finally gave up and said "there's no Isaiah vs 26." I felt like the ground should open up and swallow me right there at the altar. In front of the entire church!! embarassed cry

It was Isaiah 43 vs 26, not 45 vs 26. And to think I had it typed out but that typo completely missed my attention.

My head blanked out and I kept turning the pages looking for the book of Isaiah, while the sea of eyes stared up at me. I even went to the New Testament! embarassed

My family members suddenly had this very serious expression on their faces. You know, that kind you have when you are trying your darndest not to cringe. Or laugh angry cry

I almost wept in embarrassment. I was traumatized throughout the following week.

Chai! So damn hilarious!

To be fair, these competitions are conducted in lagos...northerners are not well known for leaving their territory to come school in the other zones... abi how many of them Dey ur class or school when u were in secondary school??.
Coming to compete from far away locations is not only expensive but also dangerous in times like these.....
The original post clearly states that it was conducted in different zones; Abuja, Lagos and Port Harcourt. Abuja is in the North, so northerners should participate. Don't make weak and baseless excuses for them, except you're from there. Northerners are so backward academically and economically and it's not about to change anytime soon.
