This op forgot to add that English sometimes is crazy. Words like ch sometimes is pronounced as k as in Chaos and at times pronounced as sh as in Church. This should be titled English and its Palava. I remain loyal to my L1 |

Nice facts that some nairalanders would term as nonsense all cos there are no words like stuning, cleavage, hot, snake, epic reply, olajumoke, classy and d likes in there. but anyway these are good FP materials |

OgidiOlu3: Nice one, although your 1st fact is wrong. The expression, "go!" is a complete sentence and is much shorter than "I am". Imperative sentences can come as single words. @OP, your post is spot on except your heading. Saying facts we DON'T know is wrong. It is a generalization and it's fallacious. I studied English and I know the facts you mentioned. DON'T should have read MAY NOT. 3 Likes |

Damsonkc:Nice one bro but a sentence is a combination of two or more words so I still think it's correct. |

And you forgot to highlight the colonization of English structures or grammar for about 25 centuries by Latin.Ferdinand de Sassure challenged that before people like Noam Chomsky, MAK Halliday further liberated it grammatically. Today the English Language is the most catholic of all tongues but no longer the exclusive preserve of the English people.It can be acquired with its top-end accent-the BBC Accent.That's why someone like Wole Soyinka could be the play reader at Leeds University whilst there.That's why many Nigerians and Africans and other nationals become newsreaders on the BBC.A position formerly reserved for professional speakers. |
