The parents are not happy their children are speaking proper grammar, they are happy that the children are speaking with a British accent. A British accent has no bearing on being understood by other people of the world. There are illiterates with British accents with no idea of what proper grammar is so those are 2 different things entirely.

You are going off on me because of grammar when I was particular about accent and imagine you proved yourself by pointing out what you think is bad grammar, is that logical to you?

How can you prove this? When did I mention that accent was grammar?

Please quote me!

ladygudhead:
Thanks for correcting that and it has made you more intelligent than i am, right? Good! So the award for MOST intelligent goes to...JHHUUUBRILLL! I can imagine your satisfaction now.

TBH. You disguised your intention to undermine my post but it worked against you.

I don't think I should be blamed for this

LordReed:
LoL! So you think conflating grammar with accent proves your point? What a joke.

Sir nobody is talking about proper English on thread.The debate here is 'accent' so don't bring proper English to play.Not because some of us type informally here does not mean we cannot construct good and proper English in a formal shetting.

Dear Lunkhead,
It is still a very valid point of argument that you lack a proper understanding of when and how to use the word " School'. Kindly take note of the following points :
1. The word ' school ' is not a verb . It is grammatically wrong to say : I SCHOOLED in Harvard. From whom did you learn that 'school ' is a verb in this context? SMH
2. The word 'school' applies basically as the COLLECTIVE for FISH when it is understood that they swim together. That's why you could say : A SCHOOL OF FISH. Got this?

I won't attend to your ranting. Your are apparently seeking to be noticed.

I do fvck face, it called working efficiently.
Also, seeing as you are NOT an authority with peer reviewed papers on this subject, your personal opinion counts for shît if you do not back it up with a reputable source.

So it's not what you think bellend, school is a verb!

Now if you got out of the ghetto and experienced the real world, you would also know that language evolves and so do the rules governing its use.

Asinwin!

Please stop weeping

Dear Cuntbreath,

Please see below.

It is true that the earliest noun sense of school ("an organized source of education or training" has been around for longer than the earliest verb sense ("to give teaching or training to". The noun has been in use since Old English, and the verb didn't crop up until the 15th century. But there is a considerable body of writing over the past five or six hundred years with school used as a verb, and it does not appear to have done any irreparable damage to our language.

I schooled him soundly against Puritanisme, which he disavowes, though somewhat faintly; I hope his Highnesse and the King will second it.
—Anon., Mysteries of State & Government, 1654

The poor Man being thus Schooled by his Wife, must provide for this Journey, or else all the Fat's in the Fire; there will be no quietness, if she does not go abroad.
–Anon., The Fifteen Comforts of Rash and Inconsiderate Marriage, 1694

My years at the convent, where I had been schooled in the art of sacrifice, self-denial and endurance, had been quite ineffective.
—Farida Karodia, A Shattering of Silence, 1993

She was not an impulsive woman, and her life had schooled her to restrain her tongue.
—Virginia Woolf, The Voyage Out, 1915

you have learnt softness; I, by your example,
am well-schooled in contempt; and while
you speak of truce I laugh, and to your pleading
turn a cool and guarded profile.
-Fleur Adcock, Knife-play (from The Eye of the Hurricane), 1964

Although the verb form of school has a number of senses which are perfectly acceptable, there is a colloquial one which appears to stick in the craws of many, and that is the use of school to mean "admonish, teach a lesson to."

Maybe that's why Bucknall is so determined to put the moves on Worthy in practice. Worthy, however, has his doubts about that. "Never," he said. "All those young guys—J.R., Scott (Williams)—I'll school 'em, and they know it."
—Jamie Rosenberg, The Daily Tar Heel (Chapel Hill, NC), 12 Jan. 1990

None of this should be taken as an exhortation on the part of Merriam-Webster for you to go into this school year brandishing the verb use of school like a cudgel, using it whenever you can. It is, however, a gentle reminder that sometimes verbs will become nouns, nouns will turn into verbs, and you should rarely, if ever, take language advice from people on Twitter. (Except us.)

Hope this helps you dismount your fvcking high horse.

Dear Overgrown Idiot!

How on earth did you bypass my previous post ? I have already made a strong case for Merriam Webster's authority on verbal construction of 'school'. Here is it:

Dear Lunkhead,
It is still a very valid point of argument that you lack a proper understanding of when and how to use the word " School'. Kindly take note of the following points :
1. The word ' school ' is not a verb . It is grammatically wrong to say : I SCHOOLED in Harvard. From whom did you learn that 'school ' is a verb in this context? SMH
2. The word 'school' applies basically as the COLLECTIVE for FISH when it is understood that they swim together. That's why you could say : A SCHOOL OF FISH. Got this?
When & How To Verbalise the word "SCHOOL".

Show screenshots or links to prove your claim, but you prefer to continue ranting, blabbing and making incessant noise.
I believe you now; you are the authority that determines what's right or wrong in English language. I hope you can shut up now.

I would have wished you a good day, but I don't know if the word "good" also exists in your dictionary.

Your stupidity is alarming. Inconceivable how you can find his post anything but profound!

lwkm!

This babe does not know what it means to say something is ANYTHING BUT PROFOUND. Dear God ,this is too shallow!

Even in your haste to speak English you ignorantly weaved the most incorrect diction .

Look at that sentence again and tell me if you have assailed me or the person you wanted to defend.

[quote author=LordReed post=65406913]People and their ignorance! I did not school abroad but through exposure I converse very freely with people from very diverse parts of the world. You don't need a freaking British accent to be understood, you need to speak and enunciate clearly. Stupidity![/quote

For God's sake you can't use 'school' for 'educated'. The word 'school' is not a verb in this example .

You are an example of why I don't really blame those parents for their decision.

Sard:
Stop writing gibberish, young man.
Writing lengthy, meaningless paragraphs won't justify your argument.
You're not an authority in determining what's wrong or right in English language. So, if you think you've any point, attach links or screenshots supporting your stance just like I did when I "schooled" you on the use of "school" as a verb.
By the way, calling people names doesn't mean you're better than them. It only shows you're not intellectually sound enough to hold civil discussions.

Dear Goofball,

I have no concern for your ignorance which by now has reached maturation. It won't be an omission to ignore a mad man who keeps washing his palms to remove a dirt that isn't there.

Your insistence on using 'school' as verb is a shame that has fallen upon you. You lack the face to admit faults when an overwhelming evidence comes around. You may die in perpetual ignorance but I fear for your generation.

Regards

EDUCATION introduces a man to the world ,whether or not he glorifies his accent. ACCENT wants us to introduce ourselves to the world ,to tell them we are English ,American or French to the backbone or by assimilation.

English by assimilation is not a very idea in Africa considering the complexity which abounds here. Whatever should make a man have his children instructed in the best manner possible and with the best method affordable should constitute no fuss at all. After all ,education is a gold mine.

Sard:
After ranting and attacking everyone on this thread, you ended up goofing with this argument. So what's essence of British accent if you don't know the basics such as using school as a verb.
I've attached a screenshot showing school as a verb.
You can thank me later.

A STANDING OVATION FOR THIS OLODO!

Teach them mathematics, programming and computers. Even if they can't speak one word of English but understand numbers and coding using proramming languages, them go chop feed your 3 generations ahead.

This mentality of language only is one of the reasons we are not yet developed.

When Russians, Japanese, Chinese and Koreans discovered how tp use their local languages for everything them develop by force. No be rocket science.

This shows how the problem of Nigeria is not just the leaders.

Black Panther is set to become the highest grossing film using the same accent you're throwing away.

You call you food local, Oyinbo adopts it and call it organic. You throw away your culture, they call it retro/motherland/ethnic. You want to move to the city but oyinbo wants the suburbs and country side for their vacations and expensive homes. You're learning accents they are learning new programming languages.

I don tire for us jare. But i no go still give up.

The audacity of pure nonsense has found a place in your reasoning. This is too shallow to be called anything !

Would you keep that sewage you call a throat shut right now.

But the Chinese, Indians, turkish, russians, Italians, south Americans don't care about the British accent. Even my fellow Uganda, southy n some African countries don't care. Why Naija
Our pidgin English too sweet to trade for any accent.

I lived in jand abit and for one day I was never interested in the faggy accent.

Funny how M.D. of GTB schooled in yankee but speaks with British accent.

HOW ON EARTH IS "SCHOOL" A VERB? This is another good reason to teach proper English. smh.

The parents are bastards, bunch of low self esteemed idiots. I hope they know how the British immigration law works. This is just to intimidate other parents and kids, this is pure show off. BTW do they know how stupid they will sound when people ask them "how long have you been in Britain" and they say never been there or just 1 month?. Stupid parents

SMH. Speak English as it is spoken . olodo!
