Creamish: Disciple is a noun/verb. Discipled is the inflected form - meaning it's correct ! We were well trained/discipled by the Rabbi to face the alacrity of life |

darkenedrebel: Dictionary meaning of disciple: a. One who embraces and assists in spreading the teachings of another. b. An active adherent, as of a movement or philosophy. 2. often Disciple One of the original followers of Jesus. 3. Disciple A member of the Disciples of Christ. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/disciple What exactly is the teaching here? 1 Like 1 Share |

Creamish: The teaching here is that the word disciple can also be in form of a verb. There are different variations. Present continuous tense - discipling Past & past participle - discipled The definition you gave up there is for the Noun form of ''disciple" When it's in verb form it means - to educate/train or teach, thus, the op is grammatically on point. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/disciple

darkenedrebel: U fail to understand my point Dark... Im not faulting the OP grammatically... Im faulting the use of that verb discipled in the context of his post. It's more torture than teaching. Consider this: okune.ddie: What is the teaching here? It's more of being maltreated IMO..than being discipled. 1 Like 1 Share |

Creamish: You should have said so in your 2nd post. |

Creamish: Everything about my physical fabric is art/humanities. My line of work entails making assumptions/hypothesis and being hyper imaginative. You are the one in commerce/accounting - you should have been able to pass your message more clearly in the 2nd post. I carry 10% of the blame - the rest of the 90% belongs to you. |

darkenedrebel: Sweets, In Nairaland, i'm neither in commerce nor accounting. Take Creamish for the NL personality she is. Assumptions are a 50:50 ratio in terms of True:False in the virtual and real world. U will not always be right. We have derailed this thread way more than necessary. Cheers. 1 Like 1 Share |

I've counted at least five of these threads all opened within 24 hours, some with an unrealistic photo. Photo is unrealistic because going around with such haircuts also earn you a beating. I know whoever is responsible for spamming the forum with this, is trying to do some ajepako vs ajebutter ish. |
