Pointed sth out, no need dissipating energy on issues of no relevance

Las Las na yoloba demon you go marry.maybe greyboy as he is an amala eater from Ibadan.

Lol he's the one who cut the conversation off. Cant handle logic I guess.

Anyway he didnt insult me so I didnt mind continuing the debate even though he obviously didnt read what I wrote or take any of my points into consideration

gozzlin:
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 clueless 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...hardly anybody 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...

Raheemzee:
Funny you! Thanks for your post, you've just taught something today. Since I was born I've been thinking the injury "whitlow" was actually pronounced and spelled "wiclo" .thanks for educating me and a large number of Nigerians who did not know the right pronunciation and spelling.

Hyerin:
I actually understood what you wrote, I don't know why these people are making such a big deal about it.

AwkaetitiBabe:
Our very own vocab lecturer, I dey feel your writing choice.

gozzlin:
It's 'versed' not 'vast' Mr. Knowitall alias Mr Showboater.

An adage in Igbo language says: If you know this one, do you know the other one? If you think you've deciphered the bird's illness, have you been able to decipher its ability to fly?

Lol im sure it will take me a least 3 days to read that thread. well I have my dictionary handy why not

amaniro:
Shes try to say,when an information is passed and one party didn't get the information, there was no communication thereof, Communication between two party involves understanding of both parties. Simple and short Your Grammar was too much and irrelevant. Especially when you had an option to use Simpler terms, but you chose to show us you're an English scholar. Bravo Amigo.

midnighter:
lol...when next you dispense another grammar please mention me so i can read it

Ishilove:
Ogbeni, what is this?? I say what is this?! You are not communicating. Wrong and totally unnecessary use of verbiage is tasking to the brain and not at all impressive! You are not communicating!!!!

Virus99:
See as you begin blow grammar ontop woman post.. Shioor

XhosaNostra:
I do have ditzy moments, so that's not self-deprecation but being realistic with myself. We all have quirks now, nobody is perfect.

XhosaNostra:
Well, I don't drink or smoke ganja, so that's out of the question.
Maybe I'm just a ditz, nothing less & nothing more.

XhosaNostra:
So you've never forgotten details you SHOULD know off the top of your head? Trust me, it happens sometimes.

XhosaNostra:
Some channels on my TV were not showing, so I called the Dstv call center. There was a long wait before my call was picked, so I was extremely irritated as I waited. Finally my turn came, the agent on the other end of the line asked for general details, like smart card number etc. To conclude her security questions, she asked for my name to confirm my identity. I don't know if it was due to my irritation or just pure absentmindeness, but I couldn't remember my name. I tried hard to remember, nothing came up so I just dropped the call, only to start the whole process all over again Yeah, that was embarrassing. I felt like an Alzheimer patient. LOL!

CAPSLOCKED:
IS THIS GUY AND OTHER HYGIENE EXPERTS ON THIS THREAD NOT OVER REACTING?

YOU KISS YOUR PARTNERS DIRTY MOUTH AND DRINK VAGINA WATER AFTER LICKING PARTS OF THEIR SKIN, YET YOU SAY SHARING A TOOTHBRUSH IS WORSE??

SOME PARTNERS DON'T EVEN USE THE SAME SPOON.. BUT THEY KISS AND.. I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING AT THE LEVEL OF CONFUSION IN THE COUNTRY.

XhosaNostra:
Well that told you now, didn't it? Because[b]I still stand by what I said[/b] despite your voluntary side hustle as a thought police on NL.

XhosaNostra:
OK, so what was the purpose of quoting my meaningless opinion then? Are you bored? You should have just kept it moving instead of wasting your time on an alleged navel fluff? Who's more thick in this scenario?

XhosaNostra:
Look, I don't care about your sissy fit & weak personal jabs. So I should say something is the case when it isn't? Kiss my @ss!

XhosaNostra:
Lol, she should have told him "Bye" back, but the babe na smart girl, she went for the ego stroke to make the clueless cat purr to her touch

Look, this is nonsense. Majority of South African women are with South African men, it's common sense. There're more Naija men dating Zimbabwean women because well, it's embarrassing to date a Nigerian man for many South Africans. Many families wouldn't approve. It's a fact.

shadrama:
pinchure or u are a talkative

farano:
Yes.

safarigirl:
I would advise women not to rebel against God's natural order. Men may look like they are having it good in life, but they are still the ones with the highest suicide rates in the world, they are the most imprisoned gender as well, as far as police brutality goes, men are the highest recipients, and on the average, women live longer than men.

The natural order should stay please
