Uncle...u can use dictionary o and not insult.

Coerce...persuade force, compel etc
Cause...result of;also compel or make e.g. someone do something/something to happen
Coarse...large granular form; rough, not fine or smooth etc.

Pls refer above and note your dictionary is narrow and incomplete - kindly consult wider.

Believe it or not I noticed the same mistake when I went through their post,but unlike you I realized it was a SPELLING mistake not a *WORD* mistake,based on the contextual usage and you would have known it too if you were not in such a hurry to slate people old enough to be your Grandparents and thereby exposing yourself..and you know what's funny? YOU calling someone BIGOTED,I mean are you for real? If your first statement wasn't dripping with BIGOTRY and HATRED,perhaps no one would have been on your case..#IRONY

Still unable to read to read correctly; refer to my 1st post and you will notice where I clearly stated that the pensioners misspelt the word.
Secondly; whether it was a spelling or (as you put it) word mistake, it doesn't negate the fact that they made a mistake and that the word 'coarse' which they chose was incorrect; and furthermore that they could have correctly used either 'cause' (which is phonetically more closer to their mistakenly chosen word) or 'coerce' instead.
As for bigotry, well you need to revise all your responses to me - or ask someone to help you out.

This flat-heads re just bent on developing India at all cost. See another shame they have brought upon our Dear Nation

LOL, they are now Igbos

donbenie:
Am sharp enough to know that the intended word is COERCE and not CAUSE and therefore IRRELEVANT in their write-up..in your haste to make mockery of them you ended up exposing your inadequacies and have been scrambling to cover up ever since..

You are incorrigible, how could you have known what they intended to say with such certainty, are you a mind reader or what?
I have explained to you time and again that both words are correct and interchangeable in this context - there is no way anyone could fault either.
Besides, I have already made my case by correctly pointing out the error committed by the hapless pensioners and also suggesting a correct substitute word they could have used to correct their mistake.
I really don't see how anyone with a good command of English language could fault this; except of course someone fixated in bigotry and poor intelligence.

Ngokafor:
...That sentence is wrong..Its either you say,'Sorry I do not respond to foolishness like you do.

Or

...Sorry I do not reply fools like you.

Silence is the best answer for a fool.

Krucifax:
Better to keep quiet and let others think you are a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
You've just made a fool of yourself by trying to show you are better than a group of elderly people fighting for their rights. Shame on you.

The fool is in the mirror you are looking at.

Ngokafor:
....lol!!.@NaMeAboki kindly respect yourself and take a bow because you(hunter)has clearly become the hunted...

Sorry, I do not respond to foolishness - thank you.

Abiagirl777:
Oga Corrector,while you wanted to make mockery of them you actually mocked itself.it is coerce not cause.

seeyouin2019:
See wetin quota system dey cause? See quota system see your life...

See them yet again queuing to expose their programed brains that seems to have been set in rigid mode like concrete; absolutely no flexibility and intellectual dexterity.

Pls go back to school and slap your teachers for programing your to function in only one dimension instead of 3D.

What a wasted education - you should be ashamed of yourselves.

matrix199:
You have a low sense of figure of speech. The wronger was in quote. Those with high IQ would know it was deliberately spelled wrongly as a sarcasm.

You goofed. You'd make a bad auto-corrector. The right correction was coerce, not cause. Admit your mistake, and go make it no more.

Nonsense, whether in parenthesis or otherwise; there was no place for the use of that word especially as it was not a valid word; while you were in the actual process of trying to correct someone on the use of proper English - very ironic.

No mistake; except you do not know the meaning of the word CAUSE - look it before you continue arguing blindly.

donbenie:
Don't try to hide your own inadequacy under the umbrella of dictionary synonyms,if you are that sharp,you would have known the word they intended to WRITE in this instance is COERCE not CAUSE..#SMH

As sharp as you are; yet you still cannot see that the two are correct and equally interchangeable - they are even phonetically sounding similar - some brains really do need overhauling.

TwoBottles:
This shows how dumb you are, Mr know it all. If you understand English, you'll know that they intended to use the word "COERCE" which means that the government is using hunger to force them to accept just 40% of their entitlements.

Go look into a mirror and you will see the dumb person you were talking about.

Wiseandtrue:
You be real Aboki its coerce not cause
Meanwhile Okorocha Rochas take care of the elderly by paying their pension and gratuity

I tire for una illiterates; dem done give una leakage but you no still get am - oya comot from my face.
In fact wetin you dey here; abeg kuku go back to your pastime wey Mazi Kanu talk am - as in 99.9%.

ucsparks:
wow aboki,, you just made yourself the most popular person on this thread

This is the best fit you've achieved in life apart from rearing of cattles..... All thanks to your foolishness

Another illiterate exposing himself - correct your mistake first.

matrix199:
Boy, your correction is even "wronger" than theirs.

What they wanted to inscribe was "coerce"... Which means don't use hunger to force us to accept the 40%.

Chai! Chai!
LOL @ WRONGER
Another graduate from PEJ college of English assassination.

My friend, as already pointed out, Coerce or Cause, are equally applicable in this instance.

@All of you: youngice, jospepper & loomer, pls not embarrass yourselves, look for the meaning of the word synonym then cause then come back and tell me something - it is quite obvious that some of you are truly ignorant and over rating yourselves. SMH

leofab:
afonja coward, coarse( Coerced) means to lure or cajole...

LOL, further exposing your illiteracy, I don't need to refer to a dictionary to tell you the difference:
Coarse = rough, not fine or detailed etc.
Coerce = to force, compel, make or cause someone or something to happen.

Now go figure.

ScotsReferendum:
You insulted an ethnic group for such a mistake.


Educated illiterate Herdman's like you


May God soviet this country so that you guys can compete with chad and Niger.



See your words

Who doesn't know we are more educated

Unfortunately, your education does not seem to have benefitted you at all; since as can be clearly seen from your own quote there was no where I insulted or mentioned any ethnic group - try to read and interpret accurately pls.

LOL @ soviet

nabiz:
... you see your life when will you stop to disgrace your tribe

Rather, the disgrace is on you - go figure.

ScotsReferendum:
You are an educated illiterate herdman for not knowing that those old people made a mistake

And you are a full blown illiterate for failing to read my post were I clearly stated that the pensioners made a spelling mistake - which do you need; glasses or brain surgery?

nwanna89:
COERCE not CAUSE

I pity your education for not knowing that both words are in fact synonyms and therefore interchangeable in this case - LOL @ rigid brain, rigid mindset.

Realtouchnot:
Nna eh, aboki will always be aboki! So the nearest word you could use for that construction is CAUSE. Maybe they never told you of COERCE, cos if they did you would've known that it was a typo.

Oya, thank those pensioners for teaching you a new word today.

Nna Igbo, go check your dictionary again and look up the meaning of the word cause; then come back and tell why it cannot be equally applicable in this case - I pity your lack of mental dexterity.

ScotsReferendum:
Herdman , have you checked the meaning of that word especially when it is spelt properly as Coerce

Coerce means to force.

Have you checked the picture; is that what they wrote?

BrownRoofRep:
OMG! Aboki please go back to primary school.
It is spelt Coerce though.

And you belong to a kindergarten since you obviously still cannot read; go check the spelling in the picture again.

Did anyone noticed how these pensioners, from a so called superior educated enclave, still cannot spell?
Their slogan, in the 1st & last picture, read something like, 'Do Not Use Hunger to Coarse Pensioners Accept 40% Pension Arrears.
LOL, COARSE instead of CAUSE

@OP:

Yes, very soon even your village Church will be turned to a Mosque - so deal with it.

vedaxcool:
Alhamdulilah may Allah strengthens your feet in Islam.

Despite bad press people continue to find guidance in Islam. Didn't the Quran say falsehood is like an illusion and it is bound to fade.

Indeed, they keep badmouthing Islam; yet many more of them keep trooping into the religion.
Allahu Akbar!

Eliteklaus:
person no fit drink beer again for kano?

No, because it is a criminal offence in Kano and you can be legally arrested for sale and/or consumption should you be so engaged - that's the law.
