 Education › Re: Do You Still Commit This Grammatical Blunder? by Mabco: 9:47pm On May 26 |
Rapmoney:
Do you still say 'My trousers has gators' or 'I want to put gators on my trousers'? If you do, it is totally wrong in standard English. This is the reason why some Nigerians get rejected for teaching jobs in the UK and in the US.
When you address grammatical mistakes, people that hate learning and knowledge, and those who don't know the essence of correct communication in business in formal environments will argue unnecessarily with you from a baseless perspective.
Gator is a short word for "alligator," which is a large reptile. In very specific, rare fashion contexts, a "gator" can also refer to a material or leather texture that looks like crocodile skin, but it is never used to describe clothing lines.
WHAT TO SAY:
1. My trousers has a sharp crease
2. Our trousers have sharp creases
3. I want to make the crease of my trousers to be sharp.
Crease is the line, mark, or ridge produced on fabric when it is folded and ironed.
I hope you have learnt something today?
I am WarriParrot. It's all about how languages or tribes call things in different ways. Do you know that even in all this developed countries you guys see as your role models, one thing can still have two or more names. Let them believe their own and believe yours. Tell them that at your place, that that is what we refer to as gator. Must you follow their own. They bear rice, beans, etc and they don't care. What if we use pigin like the Chinese blow their language anywhere they go, won't they be employed. Remember that the essence is to communicate. |

| Science/Technology › Re: I Saw This In My Generator Please What Is It(pic) by Mabco: 3:57pm On Mar 16 |
Stephen0mozzy:
I was just kidding. Here's what AI explained.
That's a float valve (also called a ball float valve or ballcock valve) — specifically a miniature one, likely from your generator's fuel carburetor or fuel tank.
## How it works:
- The red ball floats on the surface of the liquid (fuel or water)
- As the liquid level rises, the ball rises with it
- The rising ball pushes the white valve mechanism to shut off the flow
- When the level drops, the ball falls and the valve opens again*l to allow refilling
## In a generator specifically:
It's most likely from the carburetor float chamber. It regulates how much fuel enters the carburetor — preventing overflow and maintaining the correct fuel level for proper combustion.
## Why it matters:
If this piece is broken, dislodged, or worn out, your generator could experience:
- Flooding (too much fuel entering the carb)
- Fuel starvation (valve stuck closed)
- Hard starting or stalling
- Fuel leaks
## What you should do:
Since it's already out of the generator, check whether it came out on its own (a problem) or you removed it for inspection. It should be snapped back firmly into the carburetor float chamber. If the ball is cracked or the valve seat is worn, it's a cheap and easy part to replace.
You should get a gen mechanic to look at it though. Secondly, get an AI app on your phone for quick questions like these. THIS VERY ONE IS FROM THE TANK. IT'S HELP TO KNOW THE LEVEL OF THE FUEL |

You are the one that need the education Sir!
Iran fought a bitter battle with Iraq from 1980-1988. On the side of the Iraqis were the following countries:
1. USA
2. Israel (they provided Intels)
3. Saudi Arabia
4. Kuwait
5. Egypt
6. United Kingdom
7. Germany
8. France
9. Oman
10. Qatar
11. Jordan
And standing alone were the Iranians! 8t lasted for 8 years and they stood undefeated.
I am sure, there Economy was able to rebuild despite the stringent and biting Sanctions of the Americans and Europe. They are still here.
Can you say the same of your Country? Moses defeated Pharoa and David defeated Goliath. Jacob triumph at the end among his brothers. Iran will triumph at the end |

Oct 7th happened!
It was carried out by Palestinian terror group Hamas. Hamas and all its affiliates rejoiced at the wanton death and destruction they unleashed on innocent people on that day!
Let no one in their self-induced mass delusions forget that! REMEMBER THAT THE OCCUPATION OF THE PALESTINIAN'S LAND BY THE ISRAELITES AND HOW THE CONTINUE TO BULLY THEM CAUSED ALL THIS. SO WHO'S THE ONE WITH UR DELUSIONAL FORGETFULNESS |
