If your younger brother cannot write in proper English (rather than text speak), then I doubt he can get a student visa to the UK. It is easy to get carried away with text speak, but when he starts to look for a job and cannot spell properly, he would say the world is against him or better still put it down to tribalism/racism.

That's not entirely true. Most of the white people over here are very very poor in the written English. Thank God for spellchecker They can speak it properly (afterall it's their language) but when it comes to writing it A manager I worked with once, gives his report to Africans to check for him before he submits it. God dey

Dear silentc & Omo Alata
Both of you are absolutely correct in different ways. Like Siletc mentioned, many people are carried away with SMS text partern in such a way that they use it unware in formal letters; and like Omo Alata pointed out, a lot of English speakers are so bad with spellings. . . and the reason for this development is obviously the use of SMS text partern. Before mobile phones became surplus in Nigeria, no one writes English in this manner.
@Lightheart,
Do you see what your English is causing? Now, instead of responding to your enquiry, everyone is busy talking about it.

They claimed I didn't hav sufficient funds for ma maintenance, I'll be schooling outside london borough(Ealing to b precise) and dt requires a balance of £600 monthly for a maximum of 9months accordin to dem, and dt sums up to £5400, addin dis up to the £15 I owe d school givs £5415, I presented ma acct balance of £6511, so I dnt c any reason y dey ask for £7200 which was supposed to b for those schooling inside london borough!!

Omo Alata, while you make a good point, I do not personally benchmark myself against white British people. If I have learnt and studied the English language, then I should be able to speak, write and articulate in English. If some white people in the UK have poor written English, then too bad for them. I personally have never worked with anyone who cannot spell properly in the English language (white, black, Nigerian, African, British). Nigerians are always very well educated and speak English very well.

If for instance the poster's brother is looking for a job in Nigeria (lets say MTN Nigeria for example) and has to write an essay or give a presentation (with power point slides or something similar) on the future of mobile technology and the African market he might struggle as he is used to "text speak".

Maybe I am wrong, maybe I am judging him unfairly. We all speak pidgin and it doesn't affect our professional written English. The problem is that I have recently seen a lot of CV from junior brothers and sisters of people I know and friends at church (who are looking for a job) and it was riddled with poor spelling and text speak.

and it is RIDDLES with poor spelling and text speak.

Didn't d Bible say somfin abt removin d log in ur eye b4 checkin out d speck in some1 else's? Ma guy, dis forum na informal settin!! In case of nxt time, use RIDDLED!! i mean, wat r friends for??

My brother no vex, maybe I was judging your brother too harshly. I have seen text speak affect others in the professional world and was only trying to advice (even if i was judgemental)


Take it easy 

PS: By the way if you look closely at the a keyboard, the letter "S" and "" are close to each other. So riddled was mis-typed as riddles. This is a typing error. Not a spelling error.

u mean text SPEECH

LIGHTHEART,read thru ur msg & askd around - tel ur Bro 2 contact d skool 2 confrm d MAINTENANCE COST 4 its environs,& if it REALY CONFORMS wit d £5400 stated,ask 4 deir input & guidance on such issues, tho d best bet wil b 2 appeal via ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW immediately! Dnt tk ma word as Gospel,but ask around QUIKLY & hope sum1 else wil shed mor lite on dis.

This thread - O ga!!

Ealing is a London borough - _{Ealing is in London!}

in case your are re-applying please take note of this and maybe adjust your calculations accordingly

if you are appealing, do the same and state the 'error', if you've been advised by the school regarding maintenance cost attach their letter or email from the school


not sure if you should re-apply or appeal but ask for more advice and state your case properly
