Who's talking here?

Well, i think my shift manager example clearly pointed out the awkwardness. It is indeed awkward.

In English language? May be. In Arabic? Absolutely not. There are even Hadiths where God swear by Himself.

Does he swear by his title?

[Peaceful_Mind]

Does he swear by his title?

I am sure He swears by His might.

Where does he swear in the third person? That's what swearing by one's title is. You're not even swearing by yourself, you're swearing by your title and referring to yourself as someone else (third person). It's like me saying Arnold doesn't think so instead of saying I don't think so. We don't think so is OK because it's the majestic plural and really means I don't think so. But me saying Arnold doesn't think so, is schizophrenic.

'Who's talking here?' ??

May be according to you, but not according to Arabic language, and even some English people sometimes refer to themselves by third person. I heard many times on TV and movies.

I'm the board troll. My name is Arnold. I swear? Or I swear by Arnold? Or, I swear by the board troll? The last one is equivalent to what is going on in the verse.

Any of them makes sense, especially in Arabic, and even in English. I hear it someimes on TV.

So now, you're just going to repeat yourself and fall into stonewall mode. OK.

[Peaceful_Mind]

It is you who are falling into stonewall.

[Arnold]

It is you who are falling into stonewall.

And repeat.

[Peaceful_Mind]

And repeat.

You clearly lost it.

[Arnold]

You clearly lost it.

And repeat. I'd say last I checked, the ball was in your court.
