It's study and not sturdy.

Nairaland mod and integritya1, please take note.

Thank you.

ramzythecoder:
Please i don't uderstand your question, kindly expantiate. Mind you i am hale and hearty, a complete man with no issues

The correct word is expatiate.

There's really no need to expand anything just because you wanna blow grammar.

emailaddy:
Stop funding them, you are encouraging them.

A begger will always be a begger until you insult them

Sir, the correct word is beggar.

obonujoker:
Lolss... thanks

You're welcome.

Nice one

This match thought us two things :

1) Defenders can't be underrated cos our last two matches defenders won the man of the match

2)African football is improving,countries like Zambia and South Africa are coming up with young youths

Actually, it's taught.

Taught is the past tense of teach.

henryhemon:
Let's wait n see how it pawns out.

Actually, the correct term is pans out.

From the ongoing tweets, I can deduce that Peter PSquare passed his English in WAEC while Paul PSquare failed his English woefully.

How do I know this?

Yes.

If you go through the conversation closely and carefully, you will easily notice that while Peter PSquare writes "I am" which is the correct form; his twin brother writes "am" which is absolute bunkum!

Mrfred43:
when are we going to wake up from our slubber?

The correct word is actually slumber.

He can only throw shades but he cannot even construct a proper sentence.

What does he mean by "today I'm celebrated a living legend..."?

This is obviously the kind of damage the inability to use punctuation marks approximately can do.

CornelG:
Hmmm Everyone want to be NOTICE!!! Popularity by all means, Nigeria ke nah!!!!!

You're right.

I've just NOTICED you.

Zendinho:
Pls if u want to bash, kindly do that with the correct and appropriate grammatical composition....

ITS HIGH TIME YOU GOT......and not what you posted before.

Please always make sure you're correct before making any attempt to correct another person.

It's IT'S and not ITS.

It's = It is.

ITS is just a possessive pronoun.

I hope I've made myself clear?

The young man obviously lacks in-depth knowledge of grammar and spelling.

Gone are the days when punters use to brag about being the best,
Gone are the days when punters brag that they can never loose a bet,
Gone are the days of subscription,
Gone are the days account screenshots,
Gone are the days of 9 draw wins,
Gone are the days of inplay greens,
Gone are the days of e-wars that go more than 12 pages
Gone are the days of "strategies",
Gone are the days of virtuals,


But these days what do we have? A bunch of sh*tbags that beg shamelessly, shitbags that have no business to be here. These fools know nothing about the Golden Rule

"Stake what you can afford to loose"

It begs the question - how can you gamble when you can't even afford to feed?

Calling this barbrains beggers is an upgrade from who they really are - "shitbags".

And for all of you ppl funding their accounts you have all been manipulated (yes manipulative begging),
And it's working.
To put it simply - you all are being used.

And if their begging is sincere you guys are not helping them either to fund their accounts.

But excuse me Sir, it's actually beggar and not begger.

pascal558:
u on point,

You're welcome.

pascal558:
i first bringup suggestion sumtime ago say make we port,bt sum punters here faught against it nd last last d tin nr work..Imagine by nw una knw hwmuch 4 don dey our adsense account ??Bcus the traffic for don expand beyond wetin dey here as people 4 dey cum there to cum dey pick games,steady free funding for dey 4 we all,nd above all we 4 get freedom of speech

I believe the appropriate word is fought.

Tenifayo23:
Great topic. Am sure gona learn one or few things here

Of course.

You'll learn one or few things here.

For example, you'll learn that starting a sentence with 'Am' is totally wrong.

You'll rather use "I am" or just the short form which is "I'm".

So your sentence should look like this: I'm sure gona learn one or few things here OR this: I am sure gona learn one or few things here.

That's one simple way of knowing you are really a true graduate who actually passed WAEC English.

3. Snakes
Snakes generally are dangerous animals and here in Nigeria, we don't have any animal service to call when we sight any specie of snake in our environment, we melt out justice to the snake immediately. This factor also contributes to the near future extinction of snakes in Nigeria

Actually, the correct word is mete.

ladyF:
Noted.

It's hard to find people that are good in English Language like you

Thanks

You're welcome, madam.

Some Nairalanders would've started insulting me and telling me to mind my own business because after all English is not their language.

But you have shown a great sense of willingness to learn.

And for that, I appreciate.

ladyF:
The comment below me though... People that have irresponsible men as husbands, are they complete?

It's LadyF again.

Hello madam.

Please take note.

According to the sixth edition of the Publication Manual (p. 79), APA(American Psychological Association) prefers for writers to use the term who as a pronoun when referring to human beings. The term that should be used for nonhuman animals and for things.

Hope you got that?

Pius33:
...with all due respect, I wish our President quick recovery, so he can resume back to do the Job he was elected for and not this London Sagas!

Buhari is the President of Nigeria let him address us with one of our media (TV station) and tell Nigerians when he will resume duty. Till them I choose not to be fool by these waistfull activities.

Sir, I believe the right word is wasteful.

CzarChris:
bros English no bi my mother tongue and neither did I study English in school, so just get off my case and advice this madam on the way forward.

BTW, if I ask you to resolve simple Fourier series, 8x8 Matrix or even Calculus people will say I'm wicked. MORAL OF STORY: Everybody is a boss in his own field.

Meaning what?

You have to learn how to take corrections instead of showing disrespect to someone who took the pains to correct you.

By the way, just so you know, there's no type of Fourier Series or Laplace transform problem you will ask me to resolve that I won't be able to handle comfortably.

My point is: you become more knowledgeable by becoming more versatile.

CzarChris:
Never try to hook up a guy with pregnancy, it always, I repeat, always backfires.
He has accepted to take of the baby, leave it at that. Forcing him to marry you with the pregnancy will lead to creating another thread on domestic violence and battary by husband on nairaland.

I believe the right word is battery, okay?

Please, what do you mean by "uncalled a friend"?

I've never heard anything like that before.

IamZod:
Oga leave mata for Mathias.. Just applaud what the guy is doing.

It's very difficult for me to overlook such things.

It might appear like nothing but trivia to you.

But to me, it's a grave misconduct.

IamZod:
Teckno tell you he finish school?
Professor English.

So because he didn't finish school, we should now excuse him to be corrupting the grammatical skills of our children who are his fans?

This is very shameful.

So even the big cassava man does not know that it is wrong to start a sentence with "Am"?

Hmm, I wonder how all these boys and girls passed their WAEC English.

Well, well, well... I guess that's good for you.

But... just so you know Madam Chika, you HONE your skills; you don't HORN them.

Dharmiejoe:
u on dis thread to read typos u on dis thread to read typos

Of course!

Inasmuch as much as you catch your fun by losing your money steadily all in the name of hitting it big one day on sports betting, I also catch my fun by correcting inappropriate spellings and grammar here.

I don't see how or why that should be a problem for you.
