Your retired mum didn't teach u hw to avoid tautology in sentence. SMH

Lol on nairaland I slay English, but in the office I think twice and proof-read. Like I said no one is perfect

Elparaiso:
Even the oga columnist has issues with "I'm and Am".
Let us learn how to use "your and you're" also.

If we could communicate properly, it won't be that hard for us na...




Oh Lord, may my words not be obstacles to me. IJN

I saw it too and I just shook my head.

Well to be frank , this can be overlooked if its on Instagram maybe not on applications or official letters.

This is gross, d guy's blunder no b here. I think developing an effective communication skill has more to do with d individual not d institution. It saddens me when people especially graduates make such gbagaun

mrlaw93:
in the world not word

Learn to start a new sentence with a capital letter

Some will take offence with what he has written, they wallow in mediocrity.

Mr man it is "your" not "ur". Before you correct people check yourself first. haha....

Relax bro, you are right about the tautology , like I said no one is perfect in English. There's bound to be some grammatical errors in my previous posts. I don't claim to be an expert in english

Lol actually it's colloquial and since nairaland is not strict on english its permiisible. You get ?

there is nothing like applications letters, it is application letters. "ENGLISH is hard.

Lol I love this thread, one has to be careful to proof read now. Grammar Nazis on the rise

Even Alibaba himself made punishable blunders lol, talk about pot calling kettle black.

MY brother, it is not with what he has written, it is take offence in what he wrote.

This is petty, not relating to the subject matter. So unnecessary

Exactly, am not always after someone's grammatical blunder. What I want is to get an idea of what you are saying. Like my English lecturers do say, back then you can never understand English like the real English citizens. That is why we now have Nigerian English which is widely use among Nigerians for communication aside pidgin English.

you do not slay english, you slay english language.

Exactly, but it seems some smart azz wants to take it personal.

IT is the same thing brother, there are many applications for example opera mini is a application, so next time add the letter to your application.

Grow up dude.. This chat is informal. You cnt expect me to write all word's in full.

This na season of love.... He should show unconditional love.

Sujimoto was not bothered if Olajumoke could speak English or not rather he even we t as far as enrolling her.

If you can't show unconditional love then don't put the person on social media ridiculing them

Happy Valentine's Day peeps.

chinchum:
The problem is examination malpractices at wassce , GCE , Jamb.
There is no chance in hell, this fellow earned at least a c6 or d7 in English language to qualify being admitted to a tertiary institution.

Not all writes jamb these days, DLC n part-time prog settles the score.

True!

Prouldly an ex student of Yabatech. Now a student of Uniosun. I had to cross cos of dichotomy btw Hnd n Bsc.

ssoftappless:
you do not slay english, you slay english language.

But the context "language" is implied , since the conversation is about grammar, don't worry I have no plans to murder any english person, can't say the same about the language though

Chai!! Nairalanders.. UNA FADA. No wonder my wife stays glued to comments and won't stop laughing.

Nope I am right, what would matter would be the context for what the word "applications" means. I could say "I need a date", which is a fruit and you might take the context to mean "romantic interest" when in the actual sense I was referring to a fruit.

Lord, i thank you...
