How to use comparative adjectives with pronouns. How to pronounce beret and preposition,

#ComeToClassWithKingIfey
#WrongEnglishWeSpeak.

Today,  we shall look at how badly we use comparative adjectives  alongside pronouns in sentences .

I know many celebrations happened last week; but  don't worry, I brought your cake to class.

The ones that copied my heartfelt writeup for my dad and didn't give me the  credit... Jisikwanu ike.

Some of you are smelling like the yesterday's fun they had.  Looks like nobody had a bath....hangover I suppose....continue.

Anyway,  let us get down to brass tacks.

Take a look at these expressions..

Emeka is bigger than me.

Mandi  is  richer than him

Amaka is finer than her.

We are stronger than them.

Something is wrong with all the sentences.

When the full sentences are  written,  they look laughable.

Imagine these expressions

Emeka is  bigger than me Is

Mandi is  richer than  him is

Anulika is finer than her is

We are stronger than them is.

Do they make sense?

Exactly!

So the right way to say them are.

Emeka is bigger than I.
Mandi is richer than he.
Anulika is finer than she.

Etc.

Finally
Preposition is  pronounced as

Prepa-zishn and not pripo-zishon.

/prepəˈzɪʃn/

That cap we wear that people call beret is pronounced as
/'berei/ and not
/be'ret/

Facebook made this morning class difficult.  I finished typing and it wiped everything away.  Jeez I felt like spanking Mark 100 times with Dwayne Johnson's palm.

By The way,  are Beyonce's children Gemini?  Awww.. They will do great things.

Finally the class with King Ifey is done and dusted.

Those of you who copied my fathers' day post and didn't credit me. You are the reason this country looks like it is stagnated.  Why not be creative.
I need to be on the next flight to  Uzbekistan for another vital meeting.

Toodles!

*Walks out of the class,  peeps through the window*

Don't ask me what toodles mean... It is your assignment.

Is it correct to say I waybilled it to you? A few expressions you probably don't understand

Good morning KIB students. Thank you for showing immense love to your teacher. Many of you understand how draining it could be for someone to consistently post here on Facebook. I appreciate those who ensure that my bank account doesn't  get flooded with cockroaches😃. Anyway, let's get down to brass tacks. What is a waybill? a waybill is a list that contains  names of people and goods to be conveyed from one location to another. It is that book where you write your name before entering a bus. There is an air waybill, sea waybill etc. Waybill cannot be verbalised. I want to waybill some goods to you❌ If you are looking for a verb to replace  the erroneous 'waybill', here are two genuinely accepted words to use. 1. Freight (verb) transport (goods) in bulk by truck, train, ship, or aircraft. "the metals had been freighted from the city". We freighted the cargo down to Port Harcourt. freight is used when  goods are quite bulky. When good...
