About Typed Mistakes In Comments On Nairaland by teemanbastos(m): 7:23am On May 27, 2017
It is common today to see typed errors on this forum, first I believe that most nairalanders have a grasp of the English language and so they know what they intend to write, but these gaffes might come attimes.
Some of the remote causes of this.

1. Fast typing - in a bid to be the ftc, many type without really looking at what is being typed, although many attimes these comments are edited but what of those whose data finished thereafter cool

2. Homophonic errors-sometimes two words can be pronounced similarly, so when we type we tend to write down incorrect spelling.

3. Personal errors - not all of us attended the best schools, and we can sometimes make these errors.

4. Too much use of shorthand in typing - when we chat, we use a lot of shorthand and this unconsciously registers in our brain so that when we type comments on n'land.. We misuse words

Although we have n'landers who have devoted themselves to correcting others cheesy although they are mostly replied with fierce answers but these guys are untiring... grin

Anyways.. A weekly language clinic thread on Nairaland won't be a bad idea as it'll help all and sundry.




PS: abeg may una ignore my errors too o, as long as you dun understand wetin i write, we're fine cool

You can add reasons why typed comments could have errors.
