The gratuitous predilection of some members to utilize grandiloquent aphorisms as the exclusive means of dissipating their scholarly mehu-mehu, being unmindful of the wanton discombobulation such actions evokes on the diminutive comprehensive capabilities of an illiterate suya seller like me and possibly our OP, is rather unbecoming of them. LMAOOOOOOO |

What is this all about? They just want to show they have completed their masters or PHD or feel superior or special. Its not all about using supersized words its all about communicating with your audience Usually these are insignificant little people so insecure with who they are they plagiarize to set themselves apart. unoriginal in their soul, therefore they choose stolen language .ON A WHACK ASS MESSAGE BOARD? Maybe they were taught that to be themselves was inferior. So they come here and "Play" superior. [size=14pt]LOL!!!![/size] too wit: |

I remember coming to the US, and writing my essays with big grammar. My professors gave me bad grades continuously, as well as criticized my word choice. Now, I write with very limited and simple grammar making sure it elucidates my point. And thats when my grades started going up- Lesson learnt Americans are not like the British its how you say it and not what you say |

I remembering coming to the US, and writing my essays with big grammar. My professors gave me bad grate sotay, criticizing word choice. Now, I write with very limited and simple grammar making sure it elucidates my point. And thats when my grades started going up- Lesson learnt Americans are not like the British its how you say it and not what you say American University and College (TENURED) Professors wants easy writing. Straight to the point with correct grammar and clear sentences. When students start writing prose and bullshit eloquence, they shun the student. Why? BECAUSE THEY ARE LAZY!!!! Professors in America want quick easy reading. |

Blame it all on Wole Soyinka and Christopher Okigbo. They started the tradition that saw most Nigerians privileging pomposity over the desired simplicity of communication. |

Re: Nigerians And Big Grammar? by naliakar: 5:17pm On Aug 15, 2009 |
whiteroses: Yes “gentlemen” and their legend transcend “nomenclature” and yet you bestow upon them, a sense of cerebrally vacuous “inadvertent” and “monstrous” acknowledgement. The trajectory of any nairaland consolidation predicated on such attributions inevitably yields a kind of countercharge- a recrimination that reveals an irredeemable presumption of super heroism. For you as the self chosen interlocutor for Nairalanders, even that presumption is unattainable. Dont be such a jerky upstart. |

The funny thing's that over here in the west (UK), they try to keep it simple when communicating either verbally or via text. Big grammars are left for academic journals and books. But Nigeria, |
