adamadwealthy: Oga, the fact that linguists have recognised that cultural and social factors can lead to deviant constructions does not preclude us recognising that said constructions are incorrect "No learner of a foreign language can use it natively like native speakers"? And who told you we aren't native speakers? Who told you we are learners? As far as its our national language,we are native English speakers. We've been in contact with this language for at least 60 years, we use it to communicate and we have access to resources that teach it. Germans and Spaniards are non-native speakers and learners, yet they start the language from secondary school and always make an effort to improve on it Come on! We are intelligent enough to learn the rules of a language and apply them correctly, stop making feeble excuses For your information, native, pidgin and Creole languages have rules and everybody follows them. That stuff in OP is not pidgin, it's wrong grammar If OP made a post about pidgin blunders, would you be saying all this? Is "I chop never" as correct as "I never chop"? Is that part of your so-called deviation? You have a colonial mentality yourself but you don't even realise it. The colonialists and slave traders assumed that we were too stupid and lazy to learn how to do anything and you are thinking along the same lines We don't need to wallow in ignorance, no knowledge is a waste |

midnighter: A wise man once said, "you can't win an ignorant man in any argument" The above quote synopsized my encounter with you on this platform. I gave up on you sir the moment you said we are native speakers of the English language. Imagine a person arguing blindly for what he does not even know. I also rested my case when you blatantly said English language is our national language in Nigeria! Please use you Google search engine to help you differentiate between national language and official language. Have a wonderful time out. Thanks. |

adamadwealthy: Haha! Your own ignorance is astounding An official language can be a national language if you don't know. The two words are not mutually exclusive and they are used politically according to discretion. I think google should be your own best friend right now A native speaker of a language is someone who is raised in it...which we are! We are not meant to be, but we are. It's a shame that the white people captured us, but the past is the past Better accept it and stop dropping irrelevant linguistic jargon instead of reading the OP as a corrective post, which it is And you have a good evening too. |

Prophet777: Hahaha! Is this deliberate? Am I the only one laughing out loud? I am not quarrelling with the thrust of your argument...just the image of the falling boxer shorts... What were you thinking about while typing? But since the topic is grammatical blunders, may I observe that a common "deviation" of Nigerian English from standard English, is to use the present participle and past imperfect interchangeably (being and been being notorious examples). Case in point here. If expressing these thoughts in other English speaking countries, fallen short is the form to use. Peace. 1 Like |

prinxwizard: Really its not a lie its a popular grammatical quandary that people talk about a lot. Truly, you are supposed to refrain from saying that you "forgot" something in a place for syntactical reasons But practically it makes more sense to us to say it that way |
