12 inches!:
I used to have this ex that I used to chat wit on bbm.The extent of her.grammatical errors was so alarming. This is someone that is in final year in a tertiary institution and must have passed waec with atleast a C6. I'm not talking about only spelling errors but tensing, structure and lexis punctuation etc.It was jst too bad. I wonder how she passed her exams in the polytechnic.Now she wants to write TOEFL. Can u imagine. I'm not
putting her down or anything. But she really needs to work hard on her english oo!!!

gree-die:
Wen ll all these unnecessary exchange of words stop on nairaland? Na real wa o

I'm sorry gree-die but english is the official language of Nigeria. Only lazy people say english is a borrowed language.

Cast the first stone. . . Your post was, and is still the epitome of THRASH!

Dyt: I can bet d amount of blunders I read in ur own post
Mayb u read again n edit b4 anyoda sees it

dirtymoney: sometimes, when chatting with friends. I try to be perfect. Bt the truth is...... English no be my mother's tongue. I be African man, i no born for England. Phuck English!

sexkillz: Now i'm really finding it hard to pinpoint who is most dumb. The poster of this topic, or the person that posted this thrash on the frontpage. . . WTH!

Keep on exposing yourselves o, all in the name of traffic. . . "Home of Nigerians" my foot! This site should be christened, "Home of Nigeria's intellectual Jokers". . .

ArQueBusieR: Oh, well. Such is life.

Basics007: Problem with this kinda thread is that your grammar must be impeccable before you can criticise anybody. In my opinion i think the OP overreached himself by starting a thread criticising someone's spoken English when his own english is so faulty as is clearly apparent from the his post. Fine,english is not our mother's tongue and that's the major reason why you must be sure of yourself before mocking others

sped1oro: the person who started this conversation is a blockhead,[/b]as much as you want us to know you visited a bank today and noticed someone else making a blunder of the English language,you never examine yourself to know if you are fit to mock somebody who is not good in diction,instead you threw caution to the wind and committed more blunder than the girl with the blackberry.If you are that good in English,how come you made so much error in this post?

ferhyntorlah:

It doesn't matter so far she is determined to get a good score. IMO, she would have issues with the speaking and writing section of TOEFL. If she can perform well in reading and listening section, no wahala.

follyg: @poster, you committed an error urself, you cannot be absolved of the same sin
"Teller : I said right the amount in figures"
it should be "write" and not "right"
LMAO

Dyt: I can bet d amount of blunders I read in ur own post
Mayb u read again n edit b4 anyoda sees it

mykejones: Am nt sure the Op had envisioned this backlash he's presently getin frm u al. He intended to liven up the forum(I suppose),but now,he's probably hidin for cover.
Since i joined NL,I knw how many threads i've had2cancel b4 i click the 'submit' botton. You guys want evryone 2b as gud as u all are,or to write to ur own taste. The tin is,no one is absoultely perfect.
Killz,must u bash evry single thread and d Op? I really find ur personality discouraging,honestly. I once loved readin ur comments,but guy,e don do abeg.
Give us a break...like,really!
