Yea!

It's very difficult to read her post most times. I just manage.

She and a host of other NL girls. Some girls use short hand to ease the stress of typing not bothering if the reader can understand what they have typed. undecided
I am thinking of a polite way to tell her without annoying her though.

Since when is speaking eloquently and fluently in english a pre-requisite ( or any language) for falling or being in love or dating.

Damn people!

You meet the person of your dreams- in fact, it is as if s/he was fashioned just to fit you perfectly. Someone whom your bleeding heart yarns for....

But! Gosh darn it, he cant speak good english. Oh well, good riddance?

Isnt it ironic As alanis morrisette would sing.

I dont know how you guys see it..but I admire guys who speak pure,polished and neat English.. It's a turn on for me,when I see someone with an impeccable eloquence,that minute i don't even care if you are broke or ugly..I just respect them.
But for guys with bad eloquence, I'm not trying to insult or intimidate you, you could always brush up your English, I want guys to know that good eloquence,fluent usage of English is a huge turn on for girls especially the brilliant ones, or so I think...
So,what's ur take on it?
only good English can fetch us money Abi?

You're becoming more impressive atleast. You've been gradually spelling words in full rather than the shorthand writing. You know, to most men who are fluent with the Anglo Lingua shorthand form of writing is a turn off. It shows unseriousness. Just saying.
it's a turn off for me.

You didn't have to bring my mother into this..yours didn't train you well enough to tell you that you don't insult people's parents..
Re: Can You Date Someone Whose English Is Very Poor?? by ideykwum: 7:51pm On May 14, 2015
There is no excuse for bad command of English! There may be excuse for poor accents, but not the command of the language! Poverty isn't an excuse!

I won't correct your English...read through what you wrote!

IamOdin:



He's trying to say you should work on your punctuation.And who told you you can't be intimidated??
Well,i would have cut your wandering ego short if i hadn't perceived you're floundering for attention.But remember,that you are opportuned to attend a nice college doesn't mean you should talk short of others that wasn't.All fingers aint equal.Be careful!

If you think that guy wrote fluent English, then I'm sorry for you!! You are actually...xhsgsjcx! lipsrsealed

Summer1:

The only reason I'm quoting you is because ur writeup shows fluent English.. About having a bloated ego and floundering for attention.. If that's what you think of me, I'm neither egocentric nor an attention seeker..I'm just someone who voiced out her mind

Please educate her. She thinks she knows.
Azo:


You have got to respect guys with eloquence cos you have bad command of the English Language yourself. Hence no choosing on your part. However, I do not understand why u kept writing good or bad eloquence! Eloquence already means good command of the language. And what is "fluent usage of English"? Do you mean smooth usage or simply fluency? You need to brush up your comm skills too. Just my 10kobo.

Okay fine.
You don't like them right?
They don't like you either.
the difference is that they don't even care about you enough to write about you on nairaland.

They are just at peace with the believe that you don't exist.
The fact is: they don't care about you any better than you care about green algae.

Even if they were to voice their minds and maybe spit it out, you won't be there.
Re: Can You Date Someone Whose English Is Very Poor?? by kikelomojessy(f): 8:17pm On May 14, 2015
Well, I too admire guys can speak beta English, let him not just speak, let the English take him places. Patience Jonathan cnt sPeak but see where she is. Even if he can not speak correct English, he will speak his dialet perfectly without wahala and his making enuf money, me will not care oh. If u ar rich and cnt speak well, people ur are doing business with will pay interpreters to ease the barrier of communication cos its the money they want. I won't let minor tins put me off from my man.

op speak to save your life before castigating others,modify your post and rectify your blunders

If jonathan ( a doctor) could marry patience (a woman whose grammatical blunders defies the laws of gravity on earth), then I can date a girl whose grammar is not perfect as long as I understand what she's tryna say on the condition that I LOVE HER
