Sunrise96.1fm's debate gets misunderstood as the presenters muddle 'hard work' and 'hardworking' up...LOL... find out the difference

These guys are hardworking at the hard work they do

I just listened to a very interesting program on Sunrise 96.1Fm Enugu. Now I cannot help but be so happy about how different they have chosen to sound after the death of their archaic system of presenting, which did not give room to flexibility and calculated spontaneity.... I hope you know what I mean..LOL.

All thanks to Jika Attoh. He has been really wonderful at creating impressions that are second to none in the broadcasting sector.

This brings me back to my point. I listened to a show called Rave961 anchored by Chi-Oma, the lady with the unforgettable alto voice, and they deliberated on whether talent or 'hardwork' was more important.

So, I was a bit confused because I was not sure what they were emphasizing on. In fact, the two entities seem to be farther apart, coupled with the fact that 'hardwork' is erroneously thought to be a noun. There is no word such as 'hardwork'. It is either one says somebody works hard or the person is hardworking, but to say 'hardwork' pays... it is not correct, unless you really mean a strenuous activity or job.

LOL.. hard work undiluted

One of the presenters, Warri boy, who they laughed at for not really following up the conversation was actually the person who got it correct. According to what they put out, it is glaringly clear that talent is a lot better than 'hard work', but you cannot succeed using your talent unless you are hardworking...LOL

These ones are really doing the hard work.. aren't they?

Are you still confused? Well you should not be. Take note of this. People who do hard work are barrow pushers, farmers, mason men and many others... They do hard work, but then for them to be successful, they need to be hardworking at their respective hard works. We all need to be hardworking in what ever we do; whether it is using talents we leverage on, white collar jobs we just do or hard works that give us muscular structures beyond our imaginations..LOL.

My point is, no one...absolutely no one(including me) knows it all. Anyway, you can prove me wrong if you think otherwise.

Shout out to all the SunriseFm presenters, You guys are blazing the eastern trail better than any radio station.

How to use 'many a' and 'a great deal of' in a sentence. How to pronounce 'impasse'

Good morning KIB earthlings. Lets get down to brass tacks. Let's look at the use of verbs. Yesterday someone brought a statement to me and enquired if it were correct. 'many a fellow knows the truth' Many a driver ploughs this road daily' 'Many a teacher doesn't know how to English'. All these sentences are correct. According to Oxford dictionary, Many a: ( formal: always used with a singular noun and a singular verb) means a large number of something. E.g many a young person has experimented with drugs. So, don't pluralise anything in the sentence because there is an 'A' already. 'Many a teachers like to flog their students ' is wrong. 'A great deal' How do you use 'a great deal'? A great deal takes a singular verb. E.g A great deal of bananas is planted in the north. 'A great deal' takes a singular verb. Finally, the pronunciation of impasse is /'ampa:s/ Not (impas) It's not Enem

What do you call Atitanwangwere in English? A few words we mispronounce

Good morning beautiful students of KIB school. I am glad to see your beautiful faces. Before I get down to brass tacks on today's class, let me give the correct English expression for this Igbo word. Atita Nwa ngwere.

Is it 'off head', 'off hand' 'off pat' or 'by heart'?

I love all the new students in my class. You guys are awesome by the way. 😀😀 Today. I want to give you a better expression for saying that 'you know something very well'. #Offhead? There is nothing like offhead. 'I know it off head' is wrong. #Offhand? What does offhand mean? It mean without previous thought or consideration. Just like saying 'on the spur of moment' , 'immediately', 'spontaneously'. So, do you just know something offhand? No...not at all. You can say something offhand, do anything offhand but then it seems weird to say ' I know the answer offhand'. It is normal 'to say the answer offhand'. Do you get my drift? People don't know anything spontaneously, rather, they say what they already know, spontaneously. Now to the final expression #HaveSomethingOffPat? It means to know something or be able to do something perfectly; be perfect master of something . So rather than say, I know it offha
