talknafree: Ladies please before you start clutching that BlackBerry Phone and feeling like a big babe, go and learn your written and spoken english properly.

Went into a bank in earlier today to make a deposit which was quite a large amount.

A lady who was standing behind me pleaded I permit her make her payment which wasn't more than N3,000 being a 'good' guy, I allowed her.

Now she gives the teller guy her teller and amount, few seconds later, the teller guy demanded she writes in fugures the amount she is depositing; below is the conversation that took place.

Teller : "can you fill the amount in figure space please".

Girl : "which side"

Teller : (pointing) right there.

Girl : I have now.

Teller : I said right the amount in figures.

Girl : I having putting it.

Teller : what? What did you say?

Girl : I have putting it.

At this stage, I pointed to the exact place she was to fill (I did it fast before she use bomb kill us).

The teller guy couldn't control himself as he fell on his desk giggling away with his colleague smilling trickishly.

I turned to the girl who at this point was smilling heavily "pinging away" with her Blackberry touch

I asked her if she was chatting with her boyfriend, and filling like a babe she nodded in the affirmative.

Then I could just imagine the grammatical blonders herself and her boyfriend will be exchanging at each other thinking they are chatting.


The level of poor spoken and written grammatical explosives amongst our youths of today is appaling.

Below are real posts of undergraduates and graduates who are on my friend's list (ALL WOMEN)on a single day.



*Stay bless friends............. Hope we all enjoy our day? Let's prepare for tommorrow to achieve.

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!!!

Theben: This is a very serious issue o, i boarded a cab with a female corper late last year, myself being a corper too, we exchanged pleasantries and commenced discussion which lasted till the time i got to my destination. Having overlooked several blunders from her, she made an unpardonable one which made other passengers turned t☺ look at her, i immediately gave her space ni o, cos we were putting on our otondo uniform. This my beautiful corper wanted t☺ tell me she's married noni o, she said and i quote "I AM A MARITAL STATUS". Initially i thought it was an error, not until she said it the second time. I could not help but t☺ give her space ni o, cos i nor fit shout.

kelz88: True say!! ^

jethro2: True english is not our mothers language but its our official language so i think its good if we learn to speak or write correct english. Its obvious most of the commentators on this thread can not composed or write correct english sentences. This is not peculiar to girls alone but to all. It has become a norm. I would rather you write or speaks your tribal lannguage and pidgin english than incorrect english. Check your write ups several times before posting. The mistakes can be minimised but dont based it on the fact that its not your mothers tongue. Improve and work on yourself daily. Its not a crime if you cant speak or write correctly but it diminish your image and belittle your person especially when you claim to pass through school. What differentiates you from an illiterate? And for those that keeps bashing each other, please learn to reason with other peoples opinion. Thats the spice of life

Donlittle: this killz guy is absolutely annoying,always spoiling threads and stuffs, guy do you have a life?

No i don't have a life. . . Any further st[i]u[/i]pid questions?

kelz88: LOL!! You're something else, I swear. ^

So are you. . .

StateOfMind: Hehehehe!! Komole is talknafree, talknafree is komole. Its very obvious from the posts coming from both IDs. This blackberry poster too can't do without blunders and when his silly self realised he had shot himself in the foot, instead of him to humbly modify his initial post, he decided to use his other ID to support himself. That's not-so-smart bro.

Don't even try to deny it Mr komole, trust me, I know you so well.

Back to the topic, you shouldn't have started this thread because you are also guilty of this 'blunder making'. No single post of yours here is without blunder.

Don't be too fast to judge people, because you are not close to perfect too. . . . . neither am I!
