Terrible State Of The English Language In Nigeria

and i am yet to be impressed by both soul and thief with their English skills

we're here trying to help our fellow people out, and some people are talking smack. shuo!

TOH, u dey mind am? he's obviously just looking for someone to give him an audience, seeing as he has exhausted all his smack talk on this forum. at least few of us are pointing out common mistakes our people make, yet he's here trying to act like an imbecile (sorry bro, u made me say it )

Are you minding that child, soul

At least you are helping. I myself I'm helping people on IM

For example

(Just got this IM out in the blue)

XX: well done sister
XX:
toyin3.: and you are?
XX: my name is yada yada,
toyin3.: and why are you IMing me?
toyin3.: what is 'well done"
XX: i,m just greeting you,if that is an embaracement to you am very sorry
toyin3.: since when is 'well done" a greeting?
temi T.: you say 'well done" when someone does something and it's done well
toyin3.: right?
toyin3: are you in the university?
XX: i,m just processing my admission now to lagos state polythecnic.isolo campus
toyin3.: studying what?
XX: i want to study Business Study as my 1st choice and Banking & finance as my 2nd choice
toyin3.: you're going to promise me something ok?
XX: ok,i will
toyin3.: you are going to take a few English classes when you are in school
XX: i did not understand u
toyin3.: when you get to the polytechnic, you are going to enroll in a few English classes
toyin3.: Writing well is soon going to be important to you. career and relationship wise
toyin3: so
toyin3: just a word to the wise k
toyin3.: can you promise me that?
XX: ok,i promise you,thanks you very much
toyin3.: you're welcome
toyin3.: how are you?
XX: where did u stay
toyin3.: It's "do" not did
toyin3.: I'm in The States
XX: lagos or where
toyin3.: um America,
XX: ok,i,m very happy for you
toyin3.: i wish you luck with the banking and finance. don't forget your promise
XX: i will not forget, thanks and between nice pic
toyin3: Thanks. Bye


See. that is my service to man-kind for I am on a mission  

@TOH.   u funny gan o. chei, see as u just strict on the poor child. why didn't i have an English teacher like u in high school? thank God sha, upon all my teachers' whack English, i still managed to excel. good job, TOH. i hope others can learn o.  

TOH, i kind of see a little bit of myself in u (get your mind out the gutta ) i mean that i'm usually hard on folks that can't spell properly. its a seeeerious pet peeve of mine. people say i'm harsh in pointing out other people's mistakes. considering this is a forum and we all definitely make spelling mistakes due to typing fast, i tend to judge people by how they write. it says a lot about their mentality. helping other people edit their term papers was always a trip for me!

and yeah, romeo must be on some other thread yapping some more crap

who told Tiffy to start offering free English lessons? 

No spoil business for us o, if not I will have to report you to the Lesson Teachers Association of Nigeria (LTAN) 

@doyin. i KNOW u're (guilty as charged, TOH ) saying that on purpose. wetin be "pedants"?

 ;d

Arent banks banned in Canadia? 

@ TOH Western Union will be gladly accepted 

any takers to dissect redsun's last post for grammatical errors? Its a veritable gold mine I tell you

Lol I can't even be bothered to go through that eyesore called a "post"

I see that he's still mad that I blocked him on YIM. o ma se o. soul_patrol, have pity on the boy and "chart" him up so he can feel better now.

biko 

It's amazing that the ones who are taking this thread the hardest are exactly the same people this thread is obviously referring to

I mean check out redsun and Nella's posts. ridiculous.

Redsun you are an oxymoron _{hehehehe my english don dey improve o}

You no like their language too much

but you dey like pipe their women   

i don't care if some little girls like soul_patrol and the Thief make some noise, but what i do care for is that people should not be deceived into believing that having upper hand in English language is an asset, check out Nigeria!! majority of the people that speak good English are hungry down to the bone

It is just an ability to speak another man's language , not knowledge and i sincerely hope that some cretins will grab the idea
