Who we Offend With English

Wow! So, I've been speaking nonsense since. Thanks, I just learnt something

I can't believe there's people on here that did not know these things.

Except you're from Akpor Grammar School Ogbogoro!

All the whole.....

Either "The whole " or "All the"

Good job op.

I have a long way to go

"more grease to your elbow" is not a wrong English. it's an idiom. It means to praise someone for their achievement like also tasking them to work harder. it's basically the same thing as "more power to your elbow"; the former is informal while the later is formal

More reason we need broken English as our lingua franca... This English no be am at all

Don't mind the op. He doesn't know that different cultures speak differently. If he hears Americans speak in an informal setting he'll just lay eggs.

Dear OP,
Let me school you a little:
.
It is correct to say Exercise patience and not as you misdeemed it. Second, my stuffs is not wrong; update your dictionary. Lastly, mannerless is not a solecism.
.
Please avoid buying those N200 worth books teaching you GNS wrongly.
