Corper Or Corp Member Which Is Right? by gbeborun(m): 1:44pm On Jan 26, 2008 |
It beats me when fellow graduates call themselves CORPERS or Ex-CORPERS, i think it's wrong as Corp Member or Ex-Corp Member is appropriate. Infact i had to check my dictionary for the word CORPER again to be double sure before posting this in other not to embarass myself. Or is it allowable (Corper) as a form of pidgin or broken english? I think we should correct ourselves. Pls share your thoughts. 1 Like |

Corps Member is the actual spelling and the correct word. remember the "S" is silent Corper is colloquial colloquial=an expression or language use that is appropriate in informal situations but not in formal ones. 4 Likes |

In other words, corper is allowed but informal since it's already generally acceptable in this part of the world. 1 Like |

Thanks for your observations, at least now I'm better informed. My buddy almost strangled me claiming there's nothing wrong with saying "Corper" |
