budiliscious: Well this is an informal context, so the rules are quite relaxed. In addition, more than half the British population say 'yeah'. 1 Like |

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. |

budiliscious: 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. 1 Like |

Is it a Lexxus, Jeep or LEXXUS JEEP AMARDA JEEP nko? |
Re: Speak Correct English: All Toothpaste is not Maclean by Phonetikkks: 7:14pm On Jul 18, 2015 |
KanwuliaJara: "Lexus Jeep" is the precise description. "Nissan Armada" is the better description. |

Phonetikkks: http://www.lexus.com/models Did you see anything like Lexxxxxxxus JEEP here? http://m.jeep.com/en/mobile/home.html?ref=/ Did you see any JEEP LEXUS here? |

All diaper is not Pampers. |
Re: Speak Correct English: All Toothpaste is not Maclean by Phonetikkks: 7:23pm On Jul 18, 2015 |
KanwuliaJara: 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! |

budiliscious: Yeah, nice one. |
Re: Speak Correct English: All Toothpaste is not Maclean by Phonetikkks: 7:26pm On Jul 18, 2015 |
KanwuliaJara: true |
Re: Speak Correct English: All Toothpaste is not Maclean by KanwuliaJara: 7:28pm On Jul 18, 2015 |
Phonetikkks: 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"? |
Re: Speak Correct English: All Toothpaste is not Maclean by Phonetikkks: 7:57pm On Jul 18, 2015 |
KanwuliaJara: You weren't this clear in your question, but I have learned from you that Jeep is a brand as well. Nice! |

Phonetikkks: Gbam! The gods has spoken. I posted something similar on my fb wall months ago and I was nearly tied to the stake,stoned with rotten fruits and burned alive Comments were coming from different angles. "So you think you know everything en" "For your mind,na u sabi pass" "Idi.ot Cus you manage dey go school abi" Lol what supposed to be a joke and education turned a harvest of insult I just smiled at their ignorance and continued living my life off online of Cus. Well,this is an eye opener... I do make some mistakes related to these but not this level tho Thanks for sharing,I hope my fb friends don't catch you here |
