budiliscious:



Do you speak/write in British English or American English? My advice; please stick to one. Use 'Yes' instead of 'yeah'.

I hope you have just learnt something.

Well this is an informal context, so the rules are quite relaxed.

In addition, more than half the British population say 'yeah'.

British English: Yes

American English: Yeah

If you know some Britons who say 'yeah' instead of 'yes', it does not change the standard. It is your responsibility to correct them to use language appropriately just as you choose to do here on Nairaland.

Lol

It was meant to be informal - last time I checked, that was normal.

I repeat "yeah" is not exclusively American.

Thanks though, for your insightful suggestions.

Is it a Lexxus, Jeep or LEXXUS JEEP

AMARDA JEEP nko?

"Lexus Jeep" is the precise description.


"Nissan Armada" is the better description.

All diaper is not Pampers.

As much as I know, "Lexus" is only the brand name - I have seen cars that bear Lexus but aren't jeeps. You wanted a specific description and I gave you one. God bless!

VULCANIZER not FUCKANIZER!

I think you missed the point!

Any SUV is a JEEP to NIGERIANS!

Lexus IS a brand.
Jeep IS a brand.

Why do NIGERIANS combine BOTH?

According you YOU, the precise definition is "Lexus Jeep"?

You weren't this clear in your question, but I have learned from you that Jeep is a brand as well. Nice!

Hello Family! Hope all is well with you?

Some common phrases I've heard people say that are quite hilarious (I must say). Please avoid confusing "brand name" of items for their general names. It doesn't show how educated we've come. Here they are:

My favourite maggi cube is Knorr

•Knorr and Maggi are separate brands entirely. What you should say instead is "my favourite seasoning cube is Knorr"

The best maclean in the market now is Close-up maclean

•There's no such thing as "close-up maclean", it's either you mean Close-up, or you mean Maclean. Except, of course, you combine toothpastes lol.

Madam, apart from indomie, do you sell any other indomie?

• What exactly do you mean? Maybe other brands like Golden penny, O! and Mimi, right? Then what you should say is "do you sell other noodles apart from indomie".

Personally, I don't drink soft drinks without eating oily snacks

•What's oily snacks? If you mean egg roll, doughnut, buns and puff puff, then the right word to use is pastries. "I don't enjoy soft drinks without a pastry" is what you should say.

Buy milk N150, and tea N100, put inside the akamu

•What's tea? Milo, Ovaltine and Bournvita are called beverages, not tea. Tea means something completely different (e.g Lipton tea bags, Top-tea bags).

Eating slice bread without ingredients in the middle is boring

•Ingredients like what? Okay I get it.......you mean (butter) margarine, jam and mayonnaise, right? Well they are called bread spreads.


My perfect breakfast is all those you soak inside plate

•Guessing you mean cornflakes, Golden mourn, Quaker oat, Fruit 'n' Fibre, custard, Rice Krispies, and garri? Well we call them cereal.


Lastly,

Every shirt is not Polo

Every insecticide is not Raid

Every phone is not android

And, every beef roll is not Gala!


I hope you learned something. Have a good evening and don't forget your sense of humour . God bless!
