Meninmen: It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing... |

IjeBos: Lol. Empty drums actually make the loudest noise! Keep running from pillar to post. You wouldn't acknowledge the corrections I made to your blunder? Clown! |

Meninmen: I corrected your use of bias[ed] multiple times. I even posted a link with the usage. A mistake happens once (like a mistype when you're multitasking (verb vs. adjective)), when you do something 4 times, it means you haven't seen the word constructed in a sentence. That means you don't read as much as you'd like people to believe. appalled adjective : affected by strong feelings of shock and dismay. You're usage was inappropriate. Beyond the literal meaning of a word, words have connotations(the feeling/s the word invokes). Appalled invokes shock at something particularly horrifying. That connotation didn't fit your usage of it. Proper Usage: the Allied commanders were appalled to learn that 300 glider troops had drowned at sea. Your Usage: And not knowing when to use "newspapers" and "digital newspapers" is quite appalling! And check out some of it's synonyms Synonyms for appalling abhorrent, abominable, awful, disgusting, distasteful, dreadful, evil, foul, fulsome, gross, hideous, horrendous, horrible, horrid, loathsome, nasty, nauseating, nauseous, noisome, noxious, obnoxious, obscene, odious, offensive, rancid, repellent (also repellant), repugnant, repulsive, revolting, scandalous, shocking, sickening, ugly I hope you can see the difference. Using "appalled" in the way you did, just makes people think your vocabulary is limited and your trying to inflate your own intelligence/importance by using what you think are big words.. improperly. And that brings me to my final point. When I'm in Nigeria I tend to meet a lot of people like you. People who don't know how little they really know. And too proud to admit it. So they argue, stand in their ignorance and huff and puff using inflated words. All in turn betraying the fact that they are little and insecure. I find it funny as if no one can see through that. Case in point. You should pay me for schooling you. |

IjeBos: 4 times? Lol. Look at this overfed clown. Go back and read! Check out the meaning of "Appalling" below. Do you know "Appalling" could also mean "Shocking"? Do you know it could also mean "Disappointing"? Let's take a look at your definition; appalled adjective : affected by strong feelings of shock and dismay. If your skull was not empty, you would have realized that I was appalled (shocked, dismayed (a feeling of disappointment) that someone who I thought was a learned fellow do not know the difference between getting information from a "Newspaper" and from "Tv" and "internet". If this is not "appalling" enough, he doesn't know the word "biased" can't be a verb. I know people like you and I have stated it before; 7/10 eloquence, 0 intelligence and only learned fellows like us know that eloquence doesn't equate to intelligence. "Whenever you come to Nigeria"? Lol. So you live outside the country and you don't know how Biden has bundled the evacuation process? Waste of abroad space! Come back to Nigeria so you can be listening to NTA and AIT! |

Meninmen:My God you don't know when to quit. It's as if you enjoy me abusing you, like Stockholm syndrome. Since you enjoy it let me continue eh. I'm sorry, it wasn't 4 times you used biased improperly it was 5. 1.) Meninmen: 2.) Meninmen: 3.) Meninmen:4.) Meninmen:5.) Meninmen: And I explained to you what a connotation of a word is and yet you STILL drone on about definitions. Technically you used the word properly but a "learned" fellow like yourself should know its still not the best usage or word choice. How are you disproving my point about you? "So they argue, stand in their ignorance and huff and puff using inflated words. All in turn betraying the fact that they are little and insecure." Us Learned fellows eh... Lol.. Let me leave you small. Fyi, a smarter man would have figured out that I'm based in the US by now. |

IjeBos: Lol. Continue disgracing yourself. Stockholm syndrome indeed. So how does Stockholm syndrome (SS) fit into this discuss? If you must know, for you to say one has SS, the victim/Captive must have a "Positive feeling/Sympathy" for his/her abuser/Captor. We have been having heated exchanges for some days now. That is not classical of SS olodo! Let me make an example for you. Some "Buharists" will defend Buhari, no matter the harsh economic situation he has put them. They see nothing wrong with what he does even though they are suffering because of him. Another example. Imagine a Man from Benue whose parents were killed by Fulani herdsmen heaping praises on the same herdsmen. That's the Nigeria context of SS. It's like a Master/Slave relationship. You are not my Captor neither do you stand at a higher pedestal than me. I am not praising you, neither do I have any sympathy/positive inclination towards you or the views you hold! And for every abuse you have given me, I have given you double! Lol. Only a clown would argue that my usage of "appalling" is improper. Go back and read the write up, this time slowly. You live in the US? Hahahaha . You just confirmed my diagnosis; 6/10 eloquence, 0 intelligence! Lol. |
