{UAH} "MIND YOUR ENGLISH" - THE WORD "ABUSE"

I once thought "Mind Your English" was simply an ol'time British TV comedy show but, NOooough...! In UAH it unknowingly spells stupidity and idiocy for certain avid players where the wannabe sensible end up the utmost nonsensical contributors.

Here we go.

Unknown to some UAHers, the abundant misuse of the word "Abuse", matter of fact, tells all of us how far up the academic and intellectual ladder some of us have climbed - if at all. Make no mistake about it, I take academics very seriously. 

At times, the cold Canadian arctic chills cripple my spine when I see an article posted by a degree hater give approbation to a successful individual. What does it take for one to know he/she is nincompoop to post something that he/she doesnt believe in on behalf of a person who is a success by it? An article posted by a degree-hater reads "Even in high school, Badero valued education." Now ask yourself why one who hates degree holders deep in the marrows would post smthing that extols the value of high education.

Over the years after SUCCESSFUL completion of my Primary 7 I learnt that the word "Abuse" is an octopus with several tentacles. Used alone it doesnt only sound disturbingly ridiculous, it means NOTHING.

I have come to measure and most importantly, accurately grade one of our members as neither a PLE dropout but a few grades in the lower classes. High school dropout means one went pass the PLE and dropped out in High School. I say this because it is ONLY in my Primary School days in Karamoja - of all places - where I first heard, used and learnt the proper ways of applying or using the word "Abuse"

In early Primary School anyone could run to the teacher or head prefect to tell "So and so abused me" and the perpetrator will sure be meted his/her fair share of raw village justice - the traditional six strokes of the cane. It most cases it was verbal but when struck by another, it was either kicked, stoned or "boxed". "Boxed" is another word I will deal with at a later time. Here it is actually, "punched"

Anyway, that was a deliberate offside kick from what I want to say next. Now back.

The word "Abuse" has itself been abused right here in UAH. A little lesson in English 001 (not even 101) should tell the nincompoop that this word (Abuse, that is) can NOT be applied dry in a sentence without qualifying with nature of abuse.

I bet I am making matters worse by beating around the bush.

Hera we go again. Let me simplify.

After many years growing in age, after many years in schools around the world, after many years serving as employee in various capacities and after many years and thousands of kilometer travels across oceans, continents and seas one must have by now known that "Abuse" is never a compelling word unless or until one qualifies the "Abuse" with among familiar ones being "sexual, "verbal", "physical" and "psychological" etc abuse.

It just doent make any sense for any idiot here to say Gwokto has been abusing me or us without qualifying the "Abuse".

I hope next time some fattherfucker mentions my name in vain he qualifies the nature of my abuse. And if I ever did it is definitely neither of those listed above. The fatherfucker has to qualify and defend the one type of abuse I have torpedoed to him.

Before I sign this off let me make it easier Englishwise. The word the individual should be using in this case is a very very simple word and I will give it free of charge. The right word to use is nothing other than the word "Insult". Go to any Canadian school, workplace or club and hope that the word "Abuse" pops at a meeting or or discussion or under the influence. The result is always instantaneously chilling and disastrous. You dont want to hear any mention of the word "Abuse" in this country unless you live in bedbug-infested dump. It is a very serious word here and never used recklessly or stupidly.

Here is one more thing.

I have been accused of posting porn materials and right now I am demanding just a single (one) proof or a pornographic material that I have posted. I am not all that dumb neither stupid or idiotic to know how far or when humour doesnt become humour anymore and I am sure the idiot who has constantly accused me of porn postings will be in serious pain to provide one.

In providing one, I will also want the accuser to give me FIRST his own THEN universal definition of pornography and description of what constitutes pornographic material but one thing is for sure, the cocksucker is a pervert for thinking porno all the time.

There is 100% doubt that the prick knows or understands what constitutes pornography.
