The Use Of "Uncompleted" By Nigerians by opyzy(m): 9:15am On Dec 18, 2014 |
Many Nigerians uses the word "uncomplete" instead of "incomplete". Even our journalists are guilty of this. I see the error in almost all Nigerian newspapers. If you think I'm wrong take up your dictionary and search for "uncomplete" you will search for it till jesus comes . So instead of us to say uncompleted building it should be incompleted building **Modified** After Google searching I actually saw UNCOMPLETED in an online dictionary now my question is which is more appropriate to use Note:based on my research I only saw the word on online dictionaries I'm yet to see it in an offline dictionary including books 1 Like 1 Share |

It is accepted all over Nigeria, we all understand it, it sounds correct. Why shouldnt it be considered correct by you, op? It is a Nigerian variation in english. |
Re: The Use Of "Uncompleted" By Nigerians by shaggy007(m): 5:15pm On Dec 18, 2014 |
fr3do: As a matter of fact, NO. It is not a "Nigerian Variation" It is an actual word in the dictionary.. |
