Every language evolves, even some words in current dictionary were not there before and whether the English man like it or not English is now a Nigerian language as such Nigerian English too must be accepted, and I honestly see there is to have Nigerian English Dictionary |

you people should just stop this intellectual slavery and focus inward, who told you we cannot have our own dictionary and define words in our own context? who says we cant add these words to our own english dico? the other time someone was trying to define tout saying it does not mean agbero, i simply conclude call urself a tout. meet the Australians and the Americans,tell them the definition of theirs words and contextual meanings are wrong, as see what you'll get, at least we're from the same colonial masters......AFRICAN INTELLECTUAL GENOCIDE, we can no longer think for ourselves.....keep it up oooo, pray we'll be independent someday. |

OrlandoOwoh:and Don't is the short form of "do not" the statement would be "5 words Nigerians use that DO NOT actually exist in the dictionary" AND NOT "5 words that Nigerians use that does not actually exist in the dictionary". the rules of concord dictate that when the subject is singular the verb would be singular and vice versa. As such using a singular subject the statement would read "1 word that Nigerians use that DOES NOT actually exist in the dictionary". see example six in the link below. http://www.k12reader.com/term/subject-verb-agreement/ |
