*Lesson 272*
************
❇ *Confusing words*🤔💬💭
💠 *Insure* and *Ensure*
To *insure* means to buy insurance so that you will receive money if your property, car, etc. gets damaged or stolen, or if you get ill/sick or die. It also means to sell insurance to somebody for something. The other verb forms are "insure", "insured" and "insuring". In American English, *insure* is sometimes used to mean *ensure*. That is not tolerable in British English.
*Ensure* is also a verb. It means "to make sure that something happens or is definite". It is also used to mean *insure* in American English.
Both words are pronounced the same way as /ɪnˈʃɔː(r)/ (British) or /ɪnˈʃʊr/ (American).
Example
1. He *insures* his property at Prime Insurance Company. ✅
2. We have to *ensure* that everyone is served. ✅
❇ *Misused words/expressions*❌
💠 *Fill in the "blank spaces"*
Without stretching this phrase too much, we could simply say it sounds tautological. *Blank* is an adjective. If something is *blank*, it is empty, with nothing written, printed or recorded on it. *Space* is a noun. In writing or printing, (a) space refers to the part of a line, page or document that is empty. By saying *blank space*, are we not saying the same thing in two different words? We could say: *"Fill in the spaces"* and the same sense will be carried.
❇ *Grammar*📚
💠 *Tense (Shine)*
The word *shine* can be used as a verb and as a noun. Our focus is on its usage as a verb.
In sense 1, *shine* means to produce or reflect light; to be bright. *Shone* is the past tense and past participle form. For example; The sun *shone* brightly in the morning.
In sense 2, *shine* means to aim or point the light of a lamp, etc. in a particular direction. The past tense and past participle form is *shone*. For example; He *shone* the flashlight around the accident scene. In American English, *shined* can also be used for both past tense and participle forms. For example; He *shined* the light at where he was injured.
In sense 3, *shine* means to polish something; to make something smooth and bright. The past tense and past participle is *shined*. For example; He *shined* the shoe very well.✅ He *shone* the shoe well. ❌
❇ *Spell Check & Pronunciation*☑
💠 *Suffice*
*Suffice* is a verb. It means "to be enough for somebody or something". For example: One example will *suffice* to illustrate the point. *Suffice* is not used in the progressive form, as in *sufficing*.
*Suffice* is commonly used in the idiom *suffice (it) to say (that)...* This idiom is used to suggest that although you could say more, what you do say will be enough to explain what you mean. It is an elegant phrase for *let us just say* or *I shall just say*. It doesn't have to be set off with commas. For example: *Suffice it to say* he doesn't pass the exams, what would be director's reason for employing him?
*Suffice* is not pronounced the same way as *suffix*, so you shouldn't say /safix/. It is approximately pronounced as /sɛfais/, but more accurately as /səˈfʌɪs/.
❇ *Useful expressions/Idioms*🆔
💠 *On the back burner*
If something is *on the back burner*, it is temporarily not being dealt with or considered, especially because it is not urgent or important. The opposite is *on the front burner* which means getting or needing immediate action.
Example
1. The manager has put our plans of recruiting new employees *on the back burner*. ✅
2. The fight against illegal small-scale mining has been *on the front burner* since the year began. ✅
❇ *Vocabulary building*👍🏽🆕
💠 *Toiletries*
These are articles used in washing and taking care of one's body, such as soap, shampoo, and toothpaste, etc. *Toiletries* is mainly used in its plural form.
Example
1. We presented the Children's Home with some cash and *toiletries*. ✅
❇ *Reading Corner*👨🏽🏫👩🏽🏫📚
💠 *Benefit of reading*: Reading is one of the surest ways of sharpening one's intelligence. You are able to make well-informed judgements and form well-thought-out ideas. You don't make empty statements; whenever you speak, it carries great sense.
❇ *Communication (speaking & writing) Tip*✅
💠 *Responding to questions (continued)*
Some questions demand a simple *yes* or *no* answer; others demand further explanations. This distinction shouldn't be a problem.
For example:
Mother: Are you hungry?
Son: I ate in the morning.
By inference, the son means to say he is not hungry, but couldn't he have been direct by saying *No...*? Perhaps, in spoken English, we don't see the relevance of being direct with responses, but in written tests, you don't have an option.
Questions that elicit explanations should also be handled accordingly. Usually one-word responses are not sufficient as answers for such questions.
For example: How do you spend your weekend?
*To be continued...*
.................End....................
Your language is your bargaining power, so make it skilled.

The Six Stages of Social Deception
Social Deception very often is a process by which wrong becomes right, and right becomes wrong. It’s a complete paradigm shift of opinions, standards and morals that is achieved softly, subtly and often takes a generation to entrench into society. Those who engineer it are very deliberate and structured in their approach.
If you want to know what I am talking about, find out your mother’s views on things like sexuality and marriage and compare them with yours. The contrast in opinions does not necessarily prove that she is old and antiquated; it may instead prove that you have been deceived.
There are six stages of Social Deception.
The SHOCKER stage
The OUTRAGE stage
The DISCUSSION stage
The TOLERANCE stage
The ACCEPTANCE stage
The VENERATION stage
If I wanted to popularize the most unimaginable thing in our society, say like bestiality (the practice of having sex with animals). I would follow these steps. I would select a forerunner to drop the SHOCKING message on an unsuspecting public. “It is okay and we shouldn't have problems having sex with animals,” he would announce on radio, TV or in a newspaper. That is the SHOCKER; the bombshell, so to speak.
It would inevitably be followed by OUTRAGE. The forerunner is abused and demonized by the bewildered public. Every respected leader in society comes out to slam the lamentable reprobate who dared suggest something so obnoxious. The forerunner defiantly defends the practice. His critics come out even more scathing. But the forerunner knows exactly what he is doing. He is setting an agenda. Many people don’t understand the effect of continuous exposure on the human mind.
I will give an example most of you will understand. If you ask a girl out and she is not interested in you, the best thing she can do for herself is stay away from you or your words. If she continues listening to you, what was initially unthinkable becomes worth a consideration, then acceptable. Many ladies have fallen for guys they swore never to date just because they didn’t understand the law of continuous exposure.
Once the bestiality message reaches the third stage; DISCUSSION, the forerunner has done his job. At this stage there is a big debate over bestiality; with most people still slamming it, not knowing that they are falling into a trap.
It is a known fact that homosexual groups abroad were giving money to people fighting homosexuality in Uganda. Then they would also fund those pushing for it. Initially it didn’t make sense. Until understanding came about how deception works. What they wanted was to keep the subject of homosexuality in public debate. They know exactly what they were doing. The more people are exposed to it through discussion, the more it becomes less obnoxious in their minds.
That leads to the next stage: TOLERANCE. At this stage people say: “I am not going to have sex with animals, but if someone chooses to do it, shauri yake (that’s his problem). Others will say: “Who cares what people do behind closed doors?”
I have heard these statements being made by people who clearly don’t understand what they are up against.
This is the stage at which science kicks in to ‘prove’ that some people are born with an inherent attraction "natural orientation" towards animals and they cannot help themselves. Consequently, bestiality will be included in the UN Human Rights Charter and activists are given a new pursuit. Economic and travel sanctions will be used to twist the arms of nations that still forbid it.
Then we start hearing phrases like: “We cannot tell people whom they should love.”
The main purpose of this stage is to ensure that bestiality is legally accepted.
The next two steps are aimed at entrenching it at a social level.
The penultimate stage is ACCEPTANCE. At this stage bestiality becomes a conventional alternative way of living. All the outrage has since dissipated. This is the stage at which those still opposed to it are called BESTIAPHOBIC (the word will be coined) and they are considered antiquated, old-fashioned, intolerant, dogmatic, religious zealots, bigots…. you’ve heard all those words.
This is the stage at which there are bestiality rights parades in major cities.
Then we are reminded that the same book in the Bible that forbids bestiality also forbids eating pork. Then ‘intellectuals’ use that to rubbish the Word of God, and make it look ridiculous.
The final step is VENERATION. This is the stage at which the people who practice bestiality are praised. The liberalist media (which includes almost all international channels) subtly promotes them as ‘cool’, intelligent, exposed. That’s the stage at which celebrities ‘come out’ to reveal that they are ‘proud bestialists’.
Then bestiality begins to win fresh ‘converts’ everyday because many young people will do anything to be seen as ‘cool’ or to be associated with some Hollywood or football star. That is how you corrupt a whole society.
That’s how previously unthinkable things like atheism and homosexuality and all other forms of sexual perversion have taken root in our society. Unfortunately, in Uganda, homosexuality has reached Stage four (Tolerance). But in the West, it has gotten to the veneration stage.
You have probably heard of the black homosexual American footballer who “made history by becoming the first footballer to come out”. What’s historical about someone proclaiming their perversion? So many other people are being lauded in the media for no other reason other than their homosexuality.
Your mother may not be outdated after all. You may be deceived.
If you found this enlightening, share it with as many people as possible. It might just save them from the ever-widening canyon of SOCIAL DECEPTION..
