Sirseedorf:
The day I want to hand shake someone I knew and the person lift his face up and look elsewhere ignoring my hand entirely. mehnn I feel weak and embarrassed that day, in fact I can never forget that day.

joyfullyjoyous:
A woman asked if I would marry her husband. She also asked the husband if he would marry me. I felt embarrassed. The woman died few months later and the husband called to remind me of what the woman said. He wanted us to try having lunch,dinner together to make us get to know eachothrr better. She's from Portharcourt while he's from IMO n me from Ila Orangun,Osun state.

Ishilove:
I told the congregation, during Sunday service to open to Isaiah 45 vs 26 and told someone to read. She stood up, opened her bible, leafed through it for several seconds, finally gave up and said "there's no Isaiah vs 26." I felt like the ground should open up and swallow me right there at the altar. In front of the entire church!!

It was Isaiah 43 vs 26, not 45 vs 26. And to think I had it typed out but that typo completely missed my attention.

My head blanked out and I kept turning the pages looking for the book of Isaiah, while the sea of eyes stared up at me. I even went to the New Testament!

My family members suddenly had this very serious expression on their faces. You know, that kind you have when you are trying your darndest not to cringe. Or laugh

I almost wept in embarrassment. I was traumatized throughout the following week.

The day I fall down in front my neighbors outside my house is as if the ground should open for me to enter cause I hardly greet any of them

don't you think I'm vast enough to know everything about communication? or you think i need the opinion of other people to inform me on that?
when I write; it's for me and others who are acclimatize with my writing genre or have predilection for it. any other lexical dilettante is very welcome to ignore and pass accordingly, I mean as many as they come, cos I've got no patience for quibbling over my writing choice.

midnighter:


It can be either "versed" or "vast", either one fits.

Are you sure you did not bash your head against a rock before you made that call

XhosaNostra:
Some channels on my TV were not showing, so I called the Dstv call center. There was a long wait before my call was picked, so I was extremely irritated as I waited. Finally my turn came, the agent on the other end of the line asked for general details, like smart card number etc. To conclude her security questions, she asked for my name to confirm my identity. I don't know if it was due to my irritation or just pure absentmindeness, but I couldn't remember my name. I tried hard to remember, nothing came up so I just dropped the call, only to start the whole process all over again Yeah, that was embarrassing. I felt like an Alzheimer patient. LOL!

midnighter:


yes it has an entirely different meaning, but its still correct

"Vast" enough to know everything about communication ... like intellectually broad or versatile enough

"versed" enough to know everything about communication...able in terms of vocabulary

both make sense, though what he used was better

if he meant "versed", he would have said "well-versed" enough, since "versed" would sound strange in this context

culturedboss:
I did a project on a Natural gas (Methane)Precisely.I answered every other question correctly but could not remember the Chemical formula of Methane...It was the last question I was asked and the only thing I got wrong..I told them C2H4.They said Noooo...I said C2H...They said Nooo..I started mentioning jargons..This is something that's written in brackets any time methane was mentioned in my work.
My examiners were asking themselves how i got here if i couldn't remember the Chemical formula of the gas i was working with and it's the simplest Alkane.
I mean,I was confused I couldn't remember a thing again,not until I step out of the hall.
I told my friend is methane gas not CH4?!
He said,Yes...I said,I went blank in there and couldn't remember it.
Tho I had a B,I still feel embarrassed.

mine happened a couple of months ago while receiving lecture.
one fine girl that has been giving me green light just left her seat and defiantly sat on my laps in front of the whole class and lecturer. the lecturer just bone as if he saw nothing while all my friends that knew how shy I am started giving small laughs. the other girls in the class were also gossiping two but the girl no care, she even started rocking me a little while pretending to be oblivious. as for me I almost died, me wey neva get any girlfriend even in final year na dis girl won kill? sweat started gushing from all my body like water and I could not breathe because my neck felt stuffed. next I started unbuttoning my shirt because of the automatic heat, I could nor write anymore praying she would just get up and save me but e no work. I decided to take action, I stylishly pushed her, she repositioned. pushed her Again, she readjusted. I gave up. by now the whole class attention don turn to us and she was just smiling. she got up later with a victorious smile. I refused to attend class the next day.

Why do you choose to engage in an unnecessary argument just for the sake of argument?

I went to great lengths to type out this elaborate explanation so that you should desist from such atrocious errors are in your daily use of English, it leaves a very poor impression.

midnighter:


As you can see from my last post, I definitely know the difference between "versed" and "vast" and have never pronounced them the same. I took this this up not for the sake of argument, but because I saw something wrong in what you said.

You are taking the statement too literally. The word "vast" can definitely be used in a figurative sense, more akin to the definition you provided in number (4). His meaning can be implied; I am [intellectually] vast enough to know everything about communication. the word "everything" is our context, showing that he could use either "versed" or "vast".

I maintain that there is nothing wrong with what he said. In fact your own construction was a lot clumsier...almost nobody refers to themselves as being "versed" in something, even if it is technically grammatically correct. A more appropriate wording would be "well-versed".

Language is not just about grammar...there is a balancing of grammar, meaning, intrinsic aesthetic and inference...

Human beings are in fact, extremely vast. In the metaphorical sense of the word...
