Severally....I have visited him severally. The intention here is that he has visited him several times. Even professors make the same mistake.

Severally means personally. You can say that all partners in the business are liable jointly and severally for the liabilities of the business.

I don't believe you.

If your claim of liking to learn about other people's culture is true,
how come you guys are xenophobic huh?

How can you fear what you know about?
How can you develop fear for what you have good knowledge about?

I believe if black South Africans have good knowledge of other Africans and their culture as other Africans have about them,
they won't be xenophobic.

TRAFFICATOR is a valid word.
TRAFFICATE is bad

PRACTICALIZE and PRACTICALISE
Both are strange to the dictionary.

THIERSELF is standard usage

MUMU is a valid word that means a dress

BADDEST is pretty valid
