amiibaby: Withholding

consecutive repeated letters?

englishmart: Nowadays

ummmm??

Demdem: Did u just say that u are a Bastard. Ur granpa was surely useless to have allowed ur mum live such a life.

like i said Pedo. i dnt blame you,it happens sometimes; a man doesn't want a kid,bc he doesn't want to put another ediot like himselft in the world,but due to the con.dom factory's incompetence,he gets an unwanted kid....i know it happened to you,but you gotta fight your father's DNA. be a better man than your father. :-(

Sunjos: i think the FG are insincere, whats the big deal of meeting ASUU's simple demand. Is it that the FG has no resources to meet the new demand of ASUU? ...... NO. Just insincerity and selfishness In d part of d FG

FG has no resources abeg....for Christ's sake...it's Nigeria's money!


like i said before let them use part of the $700m returned by Switzerland to sort some issues. *hides*

pcnwamadi: lmao.. guy u gat my ribs crackin..lol

lol..bro...dat dude up there is confused.

shehuAO: In the first place,who ask a tortoise to stand up before falling down.Every body is now blaming ASUU for embarking on a voluntary agreement entered into with the Federal Government .who ask FGN to entered which they knew fully well,that they cannot implement .ASUU,ASUU,ASUU,how. Many times do I called you?stick to your resolution ,these people called politicians in Government are not to be trust.Forget about what Wike is talking,he is not serious.I really sympathize with Nigerian students,let ASUU fight this cause once and for all,for the betterment of our children ,children .It pains anyway,but let's bear with the situation once and for all.God bless Nigeria.

how can you say EVERYBODY when obviously you are blaming FG? are you confused? ...anyway am not blaming ASUU...

Demdem: Considering the fact that ur granpa is Jonathan, can't imagine the pathetic case the rest of ur folks will be.
Am pretty okay as I am.

ok as a stewpid pathetic pedoph¡le?....dude.....i dnt blame u shaa,seeing as you are a mental case,I mean you have no legitimate parents,so i guess the Cond0m factory got away with poor production

Demdem:
Fool, its good to know that Jonathan is qualified to be ur grandpa.

stop quoting me a'SShole,...oh wait i forgot,you don't have a family!

just buy her a se.x toy....

who dafuq says NO to SE.X in 2013?......



anyway..OP....mesef be good person.

personally i dnt like taking advantage of girls....

HisRib: So, the girl wanting a gift makes her money driven? Are you freaking kidding me?

D you realize a gift doesn't have to be something expensive? Just look for something simple.

the gal neva even say she needs a gift,though she needs it shaa,but she neva talk am....! sum guys sef

wetin Sexkillz do una na?....

Demdem:
ASUU didn't waste ur future, Jonathan did. ASUU simply wants u to have quality education, retardeen has other priorities. If he had honoured the MOU he signed with them last year, ur future would have been much more secured.
Place ur blame appropriately.

blah blah blah...dat's d only thing coming out of that hole you call a mouth.


y call him daft by the way? is he your mate? He is old enough to be your grandfather. *eediot

ummmmmm....how much is $700m in NAIRA?.....i bet it's enough for this thing to be sorted out....well make them use the money Switzerland return to do the thing na.....Abacha jst saved una *runs away*

sweetuju: Bookkeeping? This goes without hyphen

yeah...you are right! ...bravo

sweetuju: Crosssection?

you can be right...but wrong.
without the hyphen,this has no meaning,unless spaced...or should i put it this way: the usual rules of
English spelling outlaw triple letters. We put
hyphens in words that contain three of the
same letters in a row, so as to break the
letters up, e.g. bee-eater , bell-like , cross-
section, cross-subsidize,etc. but i guess i didn't phrase the question well....let me modify.


Thank you.

What word in the ENGLISH LANGUAGE has THREE different consecutive repeated letters?



Note- i mean a word without hyphen! ....



lets go smarties!

lirusehn: 4 where. D guy no gree unban me o. Buh e go xpire dis month sha.

lol.....chaiii.....mods dey vex....they banned you for a MONTH?

Kslib: You see the bolded--- You are not only dumb to all what dumbness stands for and signifies, but your sense of reasoning is also messed-up, even messier than a waste-bin! Your brain should be carried by the Waste Management truck that cleans the city every saturday rather than your head. The waste board is the place your brain needs to be and not your head!

Bla bla bla bla!! How may Edo girls have you met before in your life? So one encounter with an Edo girl is now yardstick for generealising right?

Pls, it wouldnt hurt if you at-least try to put that empty skull you call a brain to use next time or better still, dont be in a hurry to type gibberish cos your fingers are itching to put down 'dumbness' just like you did up there..

The way some people say things anyhow a-times without even thinking all in the name of trying to feel at home with what the majority are saying and mix with he crowd is just 'stupidly annoying' and plain dumb!

Sometimes, the best way to reply some people is to get down to thier level, so they'll catch your drift!!!

And as for all those who have also generalized and share the-same Line of thought with this moi moi i quoted, plsss I want to ask a favour-- share this reply with him.. Thanks!!

Cheers!!

Why are you all focused on the tautologies on my first post. I'm yet to see anyone who would disprove these ones. Oh Wait, it's obvious. These are tautologies.

Frown face is mostly used in pidgin English....have not read any book or heard someone say; She frowned her face.

N100 naira...you are right, you said in NL,because i'm yet to see anyone use it out of NL.

etc...abeg....no mind moi.

Gifted scholar: Lolzz..heheheheh..wetin dey freak u sef, d gal nah babey ooo...baby la hot!! U dey miss sth!!!

lol...that's why i loff her

::Andrew:::
Common madam don't be that like that, am driving and typing.

u need to be charged for that! "TYPING WHILE DRIVING" dude!

Vivly: In as much as some of the facts are incorrect, they are still tautologies. A deeper view, breakdown of the concepts will show this. Most of those facts are accepted as spoken english, maybe due to constant usage but it doesn't change the fact that it's a tautology

They're not saying you are 'TOTALLY" wrong,they are just saying that the usage of some of the 'so called tautologies' in some sentences are right!..



pulease dnt tell me it's either wrong or not ooooo...dat's y i Capitalised total ...lol

A-ZeD:
You are the one who is wrong here. Context, Figure of speech all play a role in a sentence e.g the sentence 'if you've seen one of the Johnson boys, you've seen them all' is not tautology but a figure of speech to connote that the Johnson boys look alike.

now here is a guy that paid attention to Literature! Vivly take note.

naijaguy77: Sorry but you are wrong on several counts. Language is about context, and English is no different.

1) Very Beginning is CORRECT. The beginning is not always a definite point, it can be a collection of points or time frame. For instance, the beginning of a concerto movement in classical music can be the a collection of sounds, but the "very beginning" will be the instant the music begins. An example of use of this phrase is in the film Sound Of Music - "Let's start at the very beginning, a very good place to start. When you read you begin with A B C, when you sing you begin with DOH REY MI". You are not more English than Julie Andrews or those who wrote that classic english song.

2) Small Minority is CORRECT. Again, it is about context. A "small minority" is a subset of a "minority". That is to say, if you have a minority e.g. the Republicans in the US Senate trying to repeal Obama care, you can have a "small minority" within that group, who are vocal and intolerant, e.g. the Tea Party movement within the republican party. This also applies to Majority and Small Majority - in a parliamentary system of government, the political parties put together a coalition of a "small majority" and the opposition can lose out of leadership by a "small minority".

6) Past Experiences is absolutely correct. Again, it is about context. Some experiences are recent - recent experiences, some even as recent as today or 30 minutes ago. In comparison, older experiences of similar events would be termed 'past experiences'. E.g. If i was narrating my experience this morning with MTN customer care to a friend, and comparing it with my experience last year with mtn customer care, it would be 100% correct to refer to the former as my "recent experience" and the latter as my "past experience"

7) Old Adage is 100% correct. This one has nothing little to do with context. The word Adage is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as "A proverb or short statement expressing a general truth." Nothing to do with how old the proverb or statement is. It may have been coined yesterday. So 'Old Adage' is an adage that is quite old, simple.

I shall leave it at this. Just remember, the English Language is a living Language, it keeps on changing. So quit quibbling over semantics and concern yourself with syntax.

oche_ejemb: Most of your so called corrections are misinformed. These are adjectives used to further qualify nouns, or simply commonly used idiomatic or colloquial English expressions.

From the very beginning is a commonly used English expression to show its from the "from the exact point when something starts". So for example, if you say "I started doing it at the beginning of the year", then you could mean anytime in January up till March possibly. However, "I started at the very beginning of the year" suggests that you started on Day 1 of the year.

Small Minority: Again, this may be right usage. If 1 million people make up a minority, is this still a 'small' minority, e.g Africans within the UK or US can be considered a minority. Are they small in size? However, Africans who worship Sango in the UK, or who commit crimes and give everyone else a bad name. These are examples of small minority when compared with the entire population.

Personal belongings: Can multiple people not share ownership of an item, or can an individual not make use of items which don't actually belong to them? I am using a computer which belongs to me (kind of), but I do not own it as it was purchased by my employers, but was given to me to work with. It is my computer, but It's not my personal belonging.

Honest truth: This is an idiom, an expression. Yes the truth should always be honest, but we are humans. e.g "The truth is that I was in class today", "The honest truth is that I was in class today but I wasn't paying attention".

Past experience: Experiences can occur in real time. Past experience suggests a considerable amount of time has passed between you having the experience (it didn't happen yesterday or this morning, or just now).

Old adage: 'Poo happens' is an adage. Is it old?

hmmmm .....chaiiii...y i luv NL; someone must come up with an arguement.


about the computer part..... on point! hence PC

Vivly: Unique individual. All individuals are unique. They're individuals.

if you've seen one, you've seen them all. Actually, if you've seen one, you've seen one. If you've seen all, you've seen all.
