Pls no 20 is wrong, the person giving out is lending while the one taking is borrowing . E.g money lender

OP got it all wotng in number 26.

You're mannerless
You're ill-mannered
Both are correct as both are adjectives and both "mannerless" and "ill-mannered" means exactly the same thing.

No 19 is also worrisome. How does "I left my phone behind" convey that one actually forgot his phone and not deliberately left it?

midnighter:
17. Exercise patience is correct, nothing wrong with it. But it's just old fashioned

18. Barbing salon is correct, but "saloon" is the wrong word

21. More grease to your elbow is correct but more power to your elbow is more formal

29. I will sleep at 10PM is fine

Everything is correct /not correct(wrong) ...as long as the other party understand what you meant .communication has been achieved!
Wetin i go dey confuse myself with English whey correct

ITxBUSH:


I don't know but I prefer "You are taking it personal"

The Correct English sounds more like Psquare singing persinally, pessina, pessinally.
.
BTW.
I buy homemade sxx clips.

FrLukas:


Ok. Thanks.

You're welcome, that "all-night vigil" is the church kind though

If you are staying awake with a sick person or looking out for something it will still be "vigil"

"We kept vigil beside him while he slept"

prinxwizard:
Number 19 na lie.....

WrathOfHadez:
No 19 is also worrisome. How does "I left my phone behind" convey that one actually forgot his phone and not deliberately left it?

Its kind of true,

If you say "I forgot my homework at home", are you trying to say that you left it at home or that when you were at home, you couldnt remember it?

mechanics:
hmmmm, ₦3,000,000 in this season, they should carry go, am seeing bare land and the man is saying development is ongong, he should keep lying.

My dear if you are not buying people are buying. It is a matter of tommorow we will know who will be a land lord and tenant paying exhorbitant rent in Ibeju-Lekki. Wisdom is when you see Opportunity and key into it before it is too Late

...Yet your advert is neither in French, Hausa, Igbo, nor Yoruba... Hypocrisy??!

traihit:
Many words classified as wrong here are just usage dependent. Else, how can 'horn' be wrong and 'honk' right when 'honking' is American English?

Because "horn" cannot be used as verb in this context and "honk" can

"Horning" is when an animal uses its horn to attack somebody

Honk is a normal English word and not particularly American

Americans have their English, British same thing, Canadians and Australians.
Most of those things you wrote there are our own Nigerian English. We speak it within ourselves and even to outsiders and they understand. Who told you that they are wrong. We are tired of somebody telling us that our English is wrong. We are not copying British again. We have Nigerianised our own English deal with that.

kevwemike:
Pls no 20 is wrong, the person giving out is lending while the one taking is borrowing . E.g money lender

Yes, so its

"(Please could you) Lend me your pen"

Ur number 29.Wat if i dnt plan to slip on d bed,rather on d couch.Or plan sleeping while standing.

I do not think No. 12, *lagging behind* is correct

Go and apply for O ride as rider under OPay.

I have actually applied but no feedback besides, I don't know all the roads in Lagos like that.

18. Barbing salon is correct, but "saloon" is the wrong word

21. More grease to your elbow is correct but more power to your elbow is more formal

29. I will sleep at 10PM is fine

"23. My body is scratching me (wrong)" this is just what happens when we translate straight out of our native languages into English

You will get funny results like "my body is paining me", "my eye is turning me", "let me hear the smell" "come and buy my market"

Let me hear the smell........

Midnighter......leave me nau

It is better you stick to the one Op says it is wrong. When you say it correctly, watch how you will sound.

Nice

My wife Khafi SHE JUST DELIVERED A BOUNCING BABY BOY and I can't be LACKING BEHIND, I must CRACK MY BRAIN to get money and do a befitting naming ceremony for my son. Yes GHANA! I will go to Ghana to search for gold, it COMPRISES of 10 REGIONS.

Add to the post

People that use 'your' in a sentence instead of 'you're or You are

Some people would say

'Your the one' instead of 'You're the one' or 'You are the one'

Some will say: 'Am coming' (wrong)
I am coming or I'm coming (correct)

Some will say: 'Have called him' (wrong)
I have called him or I've called him (correct)

. Just like
Am coming in stead of I'm or I am coming. These mistakes are common with indomie generation. Makes me want to puke
