Your boss is wise for dropping them. No matter how many times you correct these group of people, they never change. It's just like a woman who cheats. The moment she cheats on her husband 3 times, she can NEVER change. 2 Likes

pocohantas: No offence, but your boss na mumu. He is the reason why a country lik nigeria produces nothing and exports everything. He is the reason why we still suck western cock wishing to find salvation. China and Russia are the two powerful countries today after the US stoll they can't speak or write the simplest word in English language. Shame on him! |

pocohantas:you know if I'm to be your boss... You would be queried for this!!! Somethings compromise is necessary in life. And we are bond to make mistakes. You boss did wrong!!! He's been judgmental without fair hearing. It's like denying someone a job because of one's religion or tribe. I denied him based on his sentiments for I'm. Even Elon musk, Ronaldo and the likes made grammatical blunders steadily and they are top of their games. It's too light a mistake for such a brutal reward 1 Like |

You can't insult a man based on his discretionary decision. When you get to that position, you're allowed to act accordingly. |

Re: My Boss Dropped An Internship Applicant Because Of This by naturefellow(m): 11:14pm On Oct 16, 2021 |
"I am" or "I'm". Not "Am". Seeing 'am' everywhere like a trend, on social media and even official signages as this reinforces its usage especially among youths.

Sixfeetbelle:Naturally reading your comment, I believe you are above mistake right? If that is not the case then you lack human feelings. The aim of an aptitude test is to employ those that are capable of doing the job, and the the man said he has worked with the young man and he knows how good he is at the job, he also did well in the exams not like he needed help to pass the exams. Just because of a simple mistake you are now saying him been disqualified was the right decision? For crying out loud, this is a hand written exam and mistake is certainly inevitable, anyways it's your personal opinion and it's equally great but I pray your blood or someone you care about looking for a job won't fall victim to such...and it is important you act and share feelings like human not the opposite...thank you. |

Jobs have levels ... and requirements. If your boss wants his employees to be proficient in English....then he will weed out members of the who English epp gang. The same is widespread in the US where applicants abbreviate words as if writing on SM.... they are weeded out. From time to time someone here be highlighting common mistakes and am instead of I am/I'm is a top mistake. Too many believe am is correct. On Elon Musk... many Americans use slangs when speaking and writing on SM... but drop such when standard English is required. There's a time and place for everything. 3 Likes |

What kind of airhead uses " am " in the place of " i am " in what is supposed to be a formal written piece ? And which one is english hard when you are supposed to have passed through the rigours of years of learning in higher institution with degrees to back it that you are qualified to hold a position in a workplace that requires you to communicate in english language ? ( simple but correctly spoken or written english language ) . How did you get that C in english to gain admission into your alma mater in the first place ? Academic cheats everywhere , just look at that one that holds the post of Attorney - general of the federation ! six lines or less of his missives are usually error filled and he is supposed to be some kind of brilliant lawyer i guess . 1 Like |

Realtord43: It isn't perfection. Writing and speaking articulately isn't demand perfect - it's normal. I won't even date a girl who doesn't write or speak articulately. I won't even tolerate that shorthand writing they use. Why have the standards descended so low? Even if you didn't go to a tertiary institution, you should be able to speak and write articulately at least. If you went to a university, there's no excuse not to. 1 Like |

I'm sure other applicant's essay weren't perfect, I'm also sure your boss doesn't speak and write perfect grammar too but he is one of those that get mad with the 'am for i am' mistakes'. What he did there was play the god role, even worse. He dismissed a prospect cause of a mistake anyone could made (i said anyone cause most people that make this mistake know the diff, writing under pressure or absent mindedly can make them happen). I really wanna pray that someone superior to him will also use his mistake to deny him something he deserves but I'll rather pray that God have mercy on him. Grant him the grace to accommodate other people's errors and weaknesses, even annoying ones. 1 Like 1 Share |
