Enough With The Pigeon English! by ikeman20(m): 12:56am On Oct 13, 2008 |
Why you crazy knuckleheads insist on using incorrect grammer. Even the educated folks. Stop it! This ain't Onitsha main market. Most of us on here have a schooling background so I know we can do better. Trying to follow threads full of pigeon english is rather difficult especially for those of us that left Naija at an early age. The thing gives me eye headache. And ladies, that kind of grammer is so not sexy. Let's do better people |

Speaking pidgin does not necessarily mean you're uneducated. In some stance, it does. Me, I just love the way it sounds and rolls out of my fingers. lol I can't speak it, but I can type it. Am I uneducated? No. Although, out of hate, some peeps here might disagree with that ikeman20:And typing english is not to sound sexy or romantic. It just makes some peeps feel more Nigerian, like a native lang. you get? |
