Don't worry guys. CGO just made a general statement about Nigerians.

Listen C-GO whatever your name is, a judgemental attitude is awful. You know why, well let me give you another example of judgemental statements similar to the one you made

You sounded so bitter when you said Nigerians always spell words wrong

You must be from a bitter family

Or U are bitter maybe Bcause you need some Pussy

And your mama won't give u any

Dude get a fucking life and get your head right

Its not just spellings ma people some use completely different words.

What about a school signboard that said:"We give your children the best education under a SIRENE environment" Lets not even talk about our newspapers (newspapers mind you!) You will read about the BURGEONING footballer who was transferred for a WHOOPING sum of money and walked into a restaurant wearing a BOGUS suit and asked for the MENU LIST angry . This same guy is expected to WRECK havoc on opposing defenders That he will make money is a MUTE point shocked. ssiiiggghhh! I need a BRAKE from these eye poppers lipsrsealed

grin i think the poster should have packaged his thread very well. i mean if he had come from the premise that he wants to correct common mistakes used by people, it would have been nice rather than throw it so hard on nigerians, cool. abeg make i ask una if we use our hand destroy our country where we go run go?

emm mr stanloski while i get the point of most of the comments you made i believe you have me at "MENU LIST"
what should it be? MENU? or perhaps some word that i have never heard of but i understand what you say
about newspapers, in fact i believe they are responsible for a lot of the grammatical errors that we observe
nowadays

A MENU is already a list of dishes available so it makes no sense saying "give me a list of dishes available list tongue tongue

When starting a sentence, that starting letter should always be in capital. Also, when stating your nationality, that needs to be capitalized too. It's too bad your teachers failed at teaching you proper grammar, people might[b] have took [/b] you serious if they hadn't. You should be wary next time you try to criticize people for their grammar, especially when your own grammar need tending to.  grin

English is not my mother's tongue. so, who is he to judge me if i am right with my spelling or wrong. I have spent most of my years studying anothers man language while i am not doing good with mine?, to make the matter worse our local language is not included in the schools educational programme. As for me i represent naija,

Re: Nigerians And Spelling Errors! It Keeps Getting Worse! by nuggard(m): 9:07pm On Sep 04, 2008
worrying about the other Joe's grammar, especially on this thread, is quite petty.

This endless cycle of aportioning blame and complaining without doing anything proactive is just what it is- complaining. If we had members of the youth service and some of our distinguished nairalanders taking time to correct the school's signboard, surely it would be of more benefit. Maybe I'm being an idealist. undecided
