Much of Africa burns (economically and culturally), and here we dwell day after day or even week after week on the usage or non-usage of an English word "outrightly".

You take yourself--and what you do here--too seriously. You think you can help Africa's cultural and economic "burns" by what you write here? Seriously? Is this listserv some supranational African government that can solve Africa's problems? Why don't people understand the scope and intent of academic conversations and stop this delusion that academic discussions can or should solve quotidian existential problems? If you want to solve Africa's problems, get off the list and go do something about it. Good luck to you!
