Exactly!!
No matter how good a man is ,if he can't string two words together and come up with correct sentences,he automatically scores a zero
The other thing I am learning to overlook with maturity are the men that have the h factor defect
Oh,that thing irritates me badly
You see a handsome man ,tall,well dressed with a presence and he opens his mouth to speak and he will be adding h where there is none and removing them where they ought to be.
I tune off
Even in Church,when a man a man of God begins to say " this his ow God will elp us in this hour"
Pronouncing the h in hour
Honor and you hear this heavy h sound preceding the pronunciation of honor,I just lose interest in his message.

"with a poor usage of English",this is syntactically and semantically correct but grammatically,the performance is not there "with poor usage of English" is the correct grammatical form.
My opinion:dating someone with a superb and fluent well organised grammatical understanding and delivering of English language is a plus because it makes her more presentable but it shouldn't be a yardstick to date someone. As some girls would say "na English we want chop"

U have ur kind of virtues u look out for in women..I have mine and as sure as hell, a poor command of English is not a virtue..u know that too even if u don't want to accept it, its a huge turn off

Toks2008:


Lol i guess its a hindi language..

But honestly i have come to realize that its not the inability to speak English fluently that is the problem but it is in the arrogance of the people who can't.

Look at patience Jonathan,we are not concerned about her inability to speak but the arrogance displayed because she could easily hire a translator or speak in pidgin and we will understand.

Ok look at this guy or instance, would you have known how awkward he is if he said something like"omo this catar won kill me o, the thing no allow me focus"

The problem of people with bad command of English is not really the inability to speak but it is in vomiting what they are not even sure of. At least do some self improvements and when in a gathering that warrants you contributing, simply apologize before hand that you are not too sound and then continue speaking the simple ones you know and avoid big grammar.

iAmCharis:
Lol. Pained??
Can't type one complete sentence all the time.....Really?? Humour me!

Just so you know, I know what that last word means. Smh.

After taking a meticulous scrutiny on your erroneous comment,it's evidently ostensible you're a typical paradigm of "acute illiteracy at its zenith".to be honest with you,take a look at your postulate,it's full of faux pas or probably parapraxis because I can't conclude immaculately that you're not mentally and intellectually derailed.cease showcasing your wackness and stop portraying yourself as an irksome archetype of gargantuan foolhardiness.who even knows,probably you made up the story just to publicise your abysmal illiteracy disdainfully.I can pinpoint a mendacious text when I see one.last bullet:you're nothing but a liar.wacko.

So true because some of us did not have the priviledge to practice english at home after being thought at school. some of our parents too did not help matter as they dont care if u speak good english or not because they are also not learned in english language. Our friends too did not help in any way because theirs' was to mock some of us that made the attempt to practice good english at home. But these does not mean that some of us can not write down good english to a great extent , we only cant speak fluently because we did not get much opportunity to practice it orally. All the same speaking good or bad english boils dwn to the people we associated with while growing up, enviroment, backgroud nd parental encouragement.

Feel free to correct my grammatical blunders.
