ANGLE instead of ANGEL.

I am guilty of none of these, stated at the OP.


People mistake 'this' and 'these' too.

MissMeiya: Nairaland spelling and grammatical errors:

Incorrect word: "trend"
As in: "don't derail this trend!"
Correct word: "thread"

Incorrect word: "thread"
As in: "thread carefully"
Correct word: "tread"

Those are the ones I notice most often.

But "trend"may also stand for "what is trending"

fairheven:
But "trend"may also stand for "what is trending"

No mind dem, teacher teaching nonsense since Akin Goes to School days

Am instead of I am or I'm
Example: Am loving this instead of I'm Loving This

The whole Naija are culprits

Sharp guy you don quick correct yourself

Recieve in place of Receive

Beleive instead of believe

You know what grinds my balls?


I'm BEEN taken for a fool; times have BEING hard.

marieolae: alright, u need my attention, now you've got it. I hope your mind is at rest now?

aww u r so cute...

number 3,I make that mistake alot.

Expantiate instead of expatiate.

Thoughtful! Even though I was on edge lest I was a culprit.

I am a stickler for good grammar and spelling, you know...

Op tank u o, u don teach me something wey I no fit learn from school.

MissMeiya: Ohhh this is one I HATE. Nigerians switch the words "would" and "will".

Example: I will like to visit.
Example: I would be there soon.

Will is indicative. Stating a FACT.
I will be there soon.


Would is subjunctive. Stating thoughts or beliefs, or hypothetical statements.
I would like to visit.

It makes me twitch inwardly whenever I see or hear it.

So what about "Shall"

That's the problem of we (Nigerians) we sabi pass Oyinbo themselves
May God help us all!!!!!

marieolae: alright, u need my attention, now you've got it. I hope your mind is at rest now?

hello!

I just wanted to let you know that the 'likes' on ur dp is overflowing.

I am more disturbed with the way some persons, even high placed individual pronounce these underlisted words:
Umbrella as Umblerra.
certificate as Cerfiticket.
i was once in a lecturer's office and overheard him use the latter while addressing a student who came to him for enquiry.
I SMH inwardly.

"adonbilivit" instead of i don't believe it

Use of "AM" instead of "I'm"

fairheven: U sayin,good and luck can not co-exist?Are u indirectly saying,mr.president is not good luck but,bad luck? Doyin Okukpe over to you

The poster is merely implying that you can't join the two words together. i.e It's Good Luck not Goodluck.

Nice one OP. Though I'd known most of them already.

comittee is wrong, its committee, seperate is wrong its separate, Micheal is wrong its Michael

"Interpret" not "InterpretE"

MissMeiya: Ohhh this is one I HATE. Nigerians switch the words "would" and "will".

Example: I will like to visit.
Example: I would be there soon.

Will is indicative. Stating a FACT.
I will be there soon.


Would is subjunctive. Stating thoughts or beliefs, or hypothetical statements.
I would like to visit.

Wow, one learns, even from the oddest places... If the above information is true, that is.

"Grammer" is the most annoying to me. Even people trying to correct others end up committing same error, e.g "watch your grammer", "smh for your bad 'grammer'"
