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.

Thanks. Guilty of this mistake too

I'm seeing this word all over people's status.
What's the meaning please?

No specific meaning.

It’s a feeling, an excitement for something, an expression shown

Some call it party...

It was mentioned in one of Seyi vibes song and a DJ twisted it

If trafficate is wrong, what's the right word in that context?

Expantiate. The actual word is expatiate.
Paraventure. The actual word is peradventure. Nigerians also use it wrongly.

Practicalize is correct

ZACHIE:
TRAFFICATOR is a valid word.
~~TRAFFICATE~~ is bad

~~PRACTICALIZE~~ and ~~PRACTICALISE~~
Both are strange to the dictionary.

THEIRSELF is standard usage

MUMU is a valid word that means a dress

BADDEST is pretty valid
