Education › Re: UNIZIK Post-UME Candidates: What's Your Score? by Serendipity: 12:17pm On Aug 16, 2011 |
Sorry, I don't really know where to post this. Am in the east. I want to buy a MODEM but in a fix as to the following: 1. whether to buy an already programmed(ie customized to one network) Modem or the Universal Modem. 2. which network is the fastest. 3. which network's data bundles is the best. (anyway, this one is subject to the no 2 above). 4. All things being equal and put into consideration, which network gives you the best value for your money. Kindly also include any other important thing you think a novice like me should know. God bless you all as you help. |

Education › Re: Unizik Jambites Lets Meet Here. For Admission Into Unizik by Serendipity: 12:56am On Aug 15, 2011 |
ethelfun: First you dont know if the guy is telling you the truth for one, and secondly, last two years, unizik was not as competitive as this, statistics has it that unizik is the 4th ranking university with the highest application in jamb this year, with about 80,000 and above students, and about 39,000 qualified ( scored 200 in jamb ). Well above 30,000 registered for the post ume examination, and they jostle to fill just 4000 spaces. what am trying to tell you is that, a score that would warrant your admission last year may not be the same this year as a result of the increased competition, the scores are definitely not going to drop, it could only be raised higher. cheers! Are u sure that among all that applied that it was only 39000 that scored 200 and above? |

^^^ Inasmuch as 'more' is used in the comparative, it is never used with some, usually bisyllabic adjectives, as it sounds awkward. Maybe there has been slight mutation, just like it was with 'Everyone one must pay HIS/HER money' and Everyone must pay THEIR money. And mind you that no one is an arbiter of knowledge. Nevertheless, the whole shebang has been somewhat illuminating. |

ola olabiy: Oxford Dictionaries Online (ODO) says:
You can have "more hungry".
If you want me to explore this further, please, let me know.
Thanks. Please explore further. Check the word 'hungry' in a hard copy Oxford Dico. 7th edition. There it has 'hungrier' in the comparative and 'hungriest' in the superlative. Would you also say more small or more smallest instead of just smaller or smallet, just like hungrier and hungriest? |

Darwine: MOD, i thought you knew everything? So you dont know about social works in the faculty of social sciences in that school? Well, the answer is "yes", there is and direct entry pume registration and exams are not yet announced. Nice day! Oh you only thought. That's very asinine of you. Was there a time she said or implied that she knew everything. So, because she is a MOD, she will know everything about every Nigerian varsity and even varsities abroad. Maybe you are just confronting your presumptuous self with the bitter truth that came from her mouth --- that you are a scammer. |

A)more tough b)more tougher c)much tougher d) more much tougher You want me to believe that the answer to this question is more tough? Incredible! I still humbly maintain that it is either 'much tougher' or just 'tougher', just like it is either 'much taller' or just 'taller'. Or do we have More Taller? Thanks a million, |
Education › Re: ABC Of Common Errors And Mistakes In English by Serendipity: 11:09pm On Aug 12, 2011 |
ola olabiy: Simply put, you are WRONG You can't have 'more richer or more wealthier'. You can't have more with an adjective in a comparative form.
But, you can say MORE TOUGH. Here, "tough" is NOT in a comparative form.
Well, enjoy this: http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/more?rskey=ObSlT1&result=3
Happy now? You just glanced at my post and started parroting. You were simply reiterating what I said which i did explicitly. Please, re-read my previous posts and see where I stated that you can't have 'more richer' or 'more weathier' And who says you can have 'more hungry'. Please, what we have is 'hungrier' |

After all these white papers, calling of answers to the students, high malpractices and what have you, it yet brought a dismal picture. Methinks this year's exam was flunked not largely by the students but their teachers and mercenaries. Because, if most of the exams answers were written by the teachers and mercenaries, it then means that they must have written gibberish as evidenced by the colossal failure. One at the cyber cafe the other day was praising himself and luxuriating in the fact that he wrote the whole thing immediately and circulated it in the hall. I dare even say, that the slight improvement might have been occasioned by WAEC's leniency in marking or the hue and cry about the derelict state of our Education Sector. Very rueful, |

carbonsyb: Thank, I now get it. My point of confusion came from d fact that in JAMB past questions and answers series, much tougher was chosen as d correct option but in d post utme past q/a, more tough was chosen. NB In my previous post, I meant to type 'screening exercise' not sharedog wateva Are you then saying that the correct option is 'more tough'? |
Education › Re: ABC Of Common Errors And Mistakes In English by Serendipity: 10:20pm On Aug 11, 2011 |
ola olabiy: A. More tough
"More" is an adverb here. It modifies the adjective "tough".
Also, this isn't a direct comparison. You are not comparing the test to last year's, for example. You are just frustrated because of the haphazard conduct of the exercise/organizers.
"Much tougher" suggests a comparison.
You can say, for example: The exam was much tougher than I had expected.
Satisfied? If not, let me know. If you are trying to infer that the answer to the above poser is anything but 'much tougher' then I modestly and totally disagree with you. I don't think you can ever have 'more tough(er) or much tough', just like you can't have 'more richer or more wealthier'. |
