It's funny how majority of those laughing out of this situation commit the same blunder everyday, there's nothing like am, it's I am or I'm




Go ahead and go through my posts you may find spelling errors but not am

Dude you just copied my line without paying due diligence!

March 25th!!

My oga, sorry for the plagiarism, I find it very applicable in this situation sir. I actually got the line from the quoted reference.

omenkaLives:
You are also wrong to have said that the bone of contention is punctuational instead of structural.

The difference between "I am" and "am" lies in theit structure and not punctuation, since "I" is completely omitted in the latter.

Structural, agreed, but he also goofed on same Uses of English.

Finally, the last line of the post you just quoted says nobody is perfect when it comes to the Uses of English and this is where the handler is getting it wrong.

Note, this is not in any way in support of graduates who can't piece up few words to make simple correct sentences cos you may use this post against me in future.

Respect earned. You are an honest man.

Do have a fantastic day ahead.

Thanks boss.

Chaiiiiii EFCC just gave that guy a finishing. But Walt first when did EFCC start this grammatical tenses faulting

Now I am beginning to sense condescension in the efcc tone. We know say e go school but he should learn to be polite in some of these responses. I also suspect he has no job on his desk. Not funny anymore. When was d last time they released meaningful news? Even Magu no know how much they have recovered.

The handler is less busy I think.

LionDeLeo:
While not holding brief for Chon-Bale, I think the handler goofed as well especially his punctuation since his grouse on the tweet borders on punctuation. The last statement requires a full or partial termination after "Am" (a full stop or a comma) b4 the question "Okay?".

Even AS Hornby, the principal author of The Oxford Advanced Learners' Dictionary has handful of shortcomings in English, so nobody is perfect, especially in English language.

Even the "young" should've been "youngs" since he used "theirs".
I think in our use of English, we should desist from such usage like the twitter handler's.

You are FATALLY WRONG! There is actually something like "am" but the problem here lies in its usage. People tend to think it means the same thing as "I'm" which, of course, is wrong.

Seriously, sometimes I wonder how all these "Am" fools passed their WAEC English.

Trust me when I say "you know nothing".

Pls tell me how or same becomes applicable to you.

LionDeLeo:
Just imagine who is pointing at grammatical errors.

Pls, identify the grammatical & punctuation errors or stfu.

Ajustaya

No Lie... Social media... Most people have interchanged "It's" for "Is"

Good one, opportunity for others to adjust that once and for all. Kukuma write I am instead of shortening to I'm and writing Am...whew!

I think all these efcc responses are staged

It becoming a serious issue. Thought they were to fish out criminal when did efcc add teaching to their duties? Jobless people,ordinary criminal they cannot catch,they are her saying trash. Awon Olodo

ZirdoRoray:
Read your own post. It is contains both grammatical and punctuation errors. You are making a correction of the wrong use of English language by @officialEFCC twitter handle and yet you can not get yours right. The truth is the tweet by @officialEFCC is witty, admit it. Nobody is perfect.

Just like I'm also wondering what are the professional duties of EFCC

sinistermind:
Can't someone just tweet EFCC in peace again without getting an epic reply?? The handler never fails to deliver... LOL!!!!!

I can't laugh alone. Let me call someone to laugh with me.. Am laughing (in the guy's voice) see graduate.. Lol

Never fails to deliver. This EFCC handler is fighting crime on all fronts including "murder of English."

Make this EFCC guy chill nah.

If he is that good in English he should go and educate our corrupt politicians like Dino, saraki and co on how not to be corrupt, even though stealing is not corruption anymore in Nigeria.

*Misplaced priorities everywhere*

Why antagonizing him, you only recreated what he said

Now, this's what Epic looks like. For those people that tag any reply Epic

Yes chief. I laugh when people believe all these questions are real.

Is this how regular Nigerians reach out to Government parastatals on Twitter?

If YES, then PHCN/NEPA would have been getting millions of comments daily in those days .

Africans!!. It's time to get out of the box. We did not opt to speaking English, rather, English is a language forced down the throats of our ancestors during colonialism. We have over 2,000 languages languishing in obscurity in Africa, some threatened with extinction, because we're busy fooling around learning someone else's language.

Yet, some of you ask; what were our ancestors doing to have been enslaved for too long? Well, what they were doing is the same thing you're doing today. They got used to obeying white people so much that they despised anything African, including our languages, just like you. So, you're really no different than a slave!!.

Europe doesn't have more than 50 languages, yet we throw away our 2,000 languages following a continent that have less. What a shame!

Moreover, twitter is not an English classroom.

Asians (except Philippines) has long dropped this mentality and has placed more attention on their native languages in schools and society. The result is feeling of self-worth, confidence, development.

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAAAHHHAAHAHAHAAHAHAH



This EFCC guy is a clown...

I actually agree with you, Sir....but you are not typing in a native language, are you?

I personally would make sure my kids speak our indigenous language ONLY at home. They can speak all the English they want outside.

I remember Obasanjo talking about how we actively discard our culture in favour of alien/ foreign cultures.

Most Nigerians don't know the difference between "am" and "I'm" ,
"those" and "does",
"there" and "their" ,"it's" and "its".

primary school teachers need to be flogged mercilessly.
