Thanks God I'm not much of a sentimentalitist. I'm no rooter of underdog or disadvantaged folks. So whether Laycon looks like an agbero or marlian, he gets no pity from me.

This is the last time I will reply you on this matter.

What I meant and actually gave example of was that "THAT" cannot follow a sentence starting with "YOU" if it does it would be considered incorrect in English.

It is the direct translation of the broken English we speak here in Nigeria to correct English which is still wrong.

I will use your example. If I want to translate " YOU WEY NO FIT SPEND 1kobo" directly to English it would sound like this " YOU THAT CANNOT SPEND 1KOBO" which a still wrong.

The correct English translation would be " YOU CANNOT EVEN SPEND 1KOBO"


But if you quote or show me where "THAT" follows "YOU" when the "YOU" begins the sentence in any English book, I will concede. Thanks.

Explain to me why that must never come immediately after you in informal and/or formal English

Otherwise, stop making up unverifiable rules.

You that sounds very much like Nigerian Standard English than any form of broken English that might exist.

I ask you again, use ARE in the original sentence and see why it is wrong. You can't remove some of the sentence and apply your correction. That's being clever by half.

Insert your ARE in the original sentence and read it. It would tell you that your correction was/is also a blunder, Mr GrammarChecker grin


Again using the word "THAT" after you in that sentence makes it broken English. Its like directly translating broken English to correct English word for word.

How do these sentences sound to you as correct English?

You that went to the market.
You that cannot run.
You that didn't spend 1 kobo.
You that came just now.

Do they sound like correct English?
Will you never hear an English man make a sentence like this?

Oga stop trying to be smart by half. Your correction was also a blunder considering your moniker and the aproka job you have been doing.

If you really understand grammar you won't come with this lame explanation. Using ARE in the context the sentence was written is wrong.

The sentence was a mixture of broken and correct English hence the IS used was correct. You trying to remove a part of the sentence to justify your blunder is really lame and makes the sentence something different entirely because the "that didn't spend 1 kobo" described or qualified the YOU in the sentence

" You that didn't spend 1 kobo" is broken english, hence the use of IS instead of ARE as you want us to believe.

"You" is singular so IS is correct in the context of that sentence.

"You" is singular in that context; however, you must always use it with a plural verb.

You are a girl/boy You is a girl/boy

You that didn't spend is not "broken" English.

You wey no spend... is "broken" English.
