New Content

I have put up a new original content written by me from scratch. Blackchiq 02:20, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

This page could do with some editing for style and content. "Flawless mastery of the English language"? More like "excessive utilization of sesquipedalian terminology"...which, funnily enough, is how he often speaks :) but to call it "flawless" is a stretch! He never uses a one-syllable word where a fourteen-syllable one could be used instead. He reminds me a bit of "Zebrudaya", except with slightly better grammar :) -- Jalabi99 06:37, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

That you dont understand what he means when he speaks doesnt make his mastery of the english language not flawless. To me he commands great respect and he commands the english language flawlessly..

Point of correction, O Anonymous Poster. Unlike yourself (apparently), English is my mother tongue. I understand what Rev. Okotie says perfectly. I also recognize when someone is "multiplying words without reason", which Okotie does with unfortunate frequency; this tendency is misunderstood by people with a lesser command of the English language, such as yourself, as "flawless mastery". Alas, it is not. :) -- Jalabi99 13:38, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Unfortunately - u have the same surname as myself - so I wonder how English Language is your mother tongue. how do you "multiply words"? You can only multiply numbers....you have a very flawed use of the language yourself..

This is the last time I am going to reply to a ghost. Here on Wikipedia, it is conventional that one sign one's post with one's username; immediately after your post, type four tildes (~) and your username will appear after the post when you click the "Save page" button. If you haven't bothered to register for your own user name, I suggest that you do so -- it will give you much more credibility when you decide to respond to anyone on an article's Talk page.

We may share the same surname (doubtful), but that is not to say we share the same educational background or even ethnic background. You don't know who my mother is, so you cannot say what my mother tongue is, which, despite my surname, I insist is English. For the avoidance of doubt, a "mother tongue" is the one which you grew up speaking, and is the one that you speak most fluently; by these two definitions, English is indeed my mother tongue.

As for your questioning of my use of the phrase "multiplying words without reason", you once again prove your lesser command of the English language, as well as your lesser recall of English literature, in particular both the works of John Bunyan, who in a work commonly attributed to him called "An Exhortation to Peace and Unity", says inter alia:

How many are there that take upon them to teach others, that had need be taught in the beginning of religion; that instead of multiplying knowledge, multiply words without knowledge; and instead of making known God's counsel, darken counsel by words without knowledge?

and the Holy Bible, which uses a similar phrase in Job 35:15-16 (KJV):

But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger;
yet he knoweth it not in great extremity:

therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain;
he multiplieth words without knowledge.

In other words, you don't know what you are saying. So, until you do, put a sock in it. -- Jalabi99 09:27, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
