Education › Re: Can Anyone Please Explain The Use Of "AN" And Not "A" In This Sentence. by Preferito(m): 8:08am On Apr 08, 2020 |
MrBachelor: Words with a vowel sound are preceded with the article "an". And words with a consonant sound are preceded with the article "a".
Thus, "S" in that sentence has the vowel sound "e". It is pronounced as /es/. Therefore, the sentence is correct.
To further explain, take the letter /U/ in the following words;
Umbrella and Uniform. In "Umbrella" the letter /U/ has a vowel sound, while in "Uniform" it has a consonant sound. Same letter but different sounds. Consequently, when using any in a sentence you would have "an umbrella" and "a uniform".
In conclusion, the sound, and not the letter, of the first letter of a word determines the article to be used.
I hope this helps. You just took all these out of my head. You're not dull at all. |

Ladiesdoctor: Thank God for the lockdown some people for don carry the corona since.
If you are doubting me, ask Italy, USA, Spain, Iran
Thank God for the lockdown because some people would have carry the corona go villages during Easter and that will be a confirmed disaster.
Some people and complaints are like 5 and 6 You sound like Lauretta Onochie. No one is complaining about the lockdown actually. The complain is about the non provision of palliative by the government. Canada is giving each of its citizens 4000 Canadian dollars in order for them to stay at home for 2 months. There is absolutely nothing wrong if government should slash from the 2020 budget for the upkeep of the masses since the budget has not started working. |

Education › Re: Meet The Brazilian Man Born With His Head Upside-down by Preferito(m): 7:11am On Mar 02, 2020 |
NwaAmaikpe:

That's the sad world we live in.
They've fooled him to see himself as a public speaker when in reality, he is just a freak of nature unknowingly extorted to rake in funds for those who convene those programmes he gets invited to talk in.
I admire his determination to excel in life and I applaud that against the odds, he graduated as an accountant and has broken the records by being the first accountant to be unable to count with his own fingers.
I hope his life inspires someone out there who feels worthless. Just go out there and do something with yourself. You are not over because if this man could attain all of this with his life literally faced upside-down, then there's no reason for any able-bodied individual not to.
Let's all draw inspiration from him and I pray he is able to motivate people to greatness because I am not even moved by his pathetic existence.
This poor man has lived all his life with his head starring at women's yansh by default and I'm sure he has never tasted any. Nature then made it worse by wilting his hands so that he can't even bring pleasure to himself.
If this is were a story, it will be a tragi-comedy This man here is both hero and victim while his wicked mother is the unmistakable villain.
But while nothing compares to a mother's love, there's an imaginary line between love and hate. I blame the later for being the reason behind his mom's refusal to obey the doctors. Good morning my neighbor..... How are you doing....... Are you doing okay.... okay.... okay....... okay... |

Halimvh: No, you won't receive salary for the month of December.
I presume you wrote your acceptance letter by 12th of December, 2019, right? Well, writing acceptance letter is not synonymous with getting captured on the government's payroll.
Using Kwara State as an example, if you're not captured before the 15th of any month, then you can forget about the salary for that particular month. I wrote my acceptance letter about a month earlier. I was fully officially deployed to my department on the 12th. |

Halimvh: As a government employee, I would like to correct a wrong assumption here.
You will only get the December salary if you get captured on the payroll system before 15th. So, OP, did you get captured before/on 15th of December? I was deployed to my department and had my internal posting on the 12th. I also assumed work fully on the 12th. |

BiafranBushBoy: I was probably thinking it was a private job.
I am not knowledgeable about how government agencies onboard employees.
But for a private sector, your payment is calculated based on number of days.
But I am not sure if government agencies have a HR personnel that calculates things in details. Thank you |

Good day nairalanders, I assumed a government job on the 12th of December 2019 after my documentation process which took about a month. As per the government policy of payment after 3 months, this is my third month in the job and I am expecting my 3 months salary. But I am a little confused whether it will be calculated from December because I fully assumed work on the 12th day of December. I need someone to clarify this issue for me because those I have asked have not been able to say anything tangible. |
Politics › Re: NERC Directs Discos To Increase Tariff From April 1 by Preferito(m): 10:25pm On Feb 17, 2020 |
What type of nonsense journalism is this? The headline reads that NERC directs DISCOs to implement the new tariff on April 1st whereas the body of your story reads that DISCOs are awaiting NERC to give them directives on when to implement it. The last paragraph of your story even reads that you put a call through to NERC in order to confirm when the new tariff will begin to read. Then where did you get the date you use for your headline? |

Most of these girls will be setting standards like standard liege. When she said she has most of these materials, one thing I know is that most of them use their bodies to acquire these materials.
