Does this subject really deserve a series of articles in four parts? I mean, how analytical can a writer be?

I never knew and never thought Francis kwarteng could be such an ugly nonentity. How can such an ugly thing display such a high level of stupidity by posting nonsense all day Long to Ghanaweb?

Kwarteng made a very good attempt to fool and impress us yet again but failed miserably and it will be nice if he could stop conjuring non-existent English words from the sky. Words like derationlization, anthropogenic, occasionist, pulpitry. No such words. Throw in the following two tautologies and we dig deeper into trouble:
-fullest and zenith, which essentially mean one and the same thing and
-a very sharp cast of mind. Sharp mind is sharp mind, period. Cast?... forget it.

I will not waste time going into any technicalities, though little effort in terms of research would have taught you otherwise.
I will not do that for you. Let me give you a little help though: just google "fullest zenith" and you will be surprised how many of the experts in your so-called "Queen's English" have used those two words together, like I have done.
Don't ever think is always as simplistic as you see it. You have a lot of learning and research to do. I will not respond to the other parts of your comments because I do not want to share you "ignorant" and "uninformed" when it comes English vocabulary...All the answers you seek are right there in "the Queen's English."
You have seen nothing yet. More conjured words are coming your way.
Always remember: My more sophisticated readers enjoy my writings. Don't read if you don't feel like it.
Enjoy your weekend.

Kwarteng, you never cease to amaze me. I generally don't like to quibble but you asked for it. I understand your frustration because it seems in your rush to prove just how your intellect is superior to everybody else on Ghanaweb, I guess you missed one important word in my write up---'fullest' and 'zenith' ESSENTIALLY mean the same thing and the emphasis is on the word 'essentially'. But let's get to the bottom of the two words: zenith means highest point of success or power. So let's move on to the word fullest. Full means just that: filled, complete. You still stubbornly don't get it do you? And by the way, I don't need your help in doing any research. Heavens no! I know where to get help when I need one.

And yes, you have given me all that I need: ESSENTIALLY.
I also hope you know what "essentially" means and what it undermines your non-technical argument or positions.
Even your own KWASHIORKOR is part of your "Queen's English" and the English language...but not de-rationalize or de-rationalization...bot common words in your "Queen's English."
By the way, google the two words ("fullest zenith") together and see how many times they are used in your "Queen's English" and you will see why they two are not "essentially" the same in every single situation or context!
I HAVE GOOGLED THEM ("fullest zenith") AND SEEN TONS OF INSTANCES WHERE THEY HAVE BEEN USED AS APRT OF YOUR "QUEEN'S ENGLISH" AND IN NUMEROUS ACADEMIC TEXTS.
Please don't waste my time.
Thanks.

Mind you, by using the adverb "essentially" you narrow the technical focus of your position.
Well, there is nothing technical about your position anyway.
This was why I asked you to perform a little research on those two words used together.
The research will tell you how technical expansive the usage of "fullest zenith" is in both "standard" "Queen's English" and non-standard ordinary English. JUST A SIMPLE GOOGLE RESEARCH.
Perhaps "standard Queen's English" is a tautology, don't you think, since the word "standard" is already part of the definition of "Queen's English"?
Well, not everybody sees "Queen's English" as standard! This is where "essentially" comes in.
When you use the word "essentially" you directly tell me how narrow your understanding of the issue is.
I, on the other hand, prefer to look at the issue on a technically grander scale. I don't look at it on the basis of your "essentially."
It seriously limits your grasp of the technical aspect of the discussion. I don't have time for that. Like I said before, a simple google search answers your question.
The research moves from simple ideas such as your "essentially" to more technical undertakings. Again, I will not go into that. You can have that discussion with ADJOA WANGARA.
