Nice write up!
I have learnt something.
Guilty of expantiate instead of expatiate

guess ts jst a faster way of typing though most dnt knw

BossAyuk: Am instead of I am or I'm
Example: Am loving this instead of I'm Loving This

The whole Naija are culprits

XketchDesigns: A thread for you marieolae

LOL.. seriously.., always mixing up words.

So nobdy wnts to ans my question.

saaedlee: .

remember, they are two different words with different meaning..... the spellings are correct .

weird: odd, strange, unusual

wired: agitated, restless, hyper

All depend on how u use them.

Bezed: LOL.. seriously.., always mixing up words.

alright. Another stalker.

All wrong "More handsome,most handsome" All correct pls take note"Handsomer,handsomest"

consequences not consequencies
this = one
these = many
eg
this is d car
these are d cars

affigurl5:

You know on most social platform weird is actually misspelt as wierd.. your instead of you're

lasheez: All wrong "More handsome,most handsome" All correct pls take note"Handsomer,handsomest"

Actually they're all correct, the only difference is in their frequency of usage with more/most handsome used more than the latter in your post

flolancracker: ANGLE instead of ANGEL.

Seriously? that's really funny, such a person should be smacked on the face with a chair

fairheven:
But "trend"may also stand for "what is trending"

you don't get what she's on about

30secs: Sharp guy you don quick correct yourself

Abeg wetin the guy write b4 *amebo things*

san316: Ok. The one i notice is how we interchange it's and its. The first means 'it is' while the other is a possessive pronoun. Some people instead of saying 'married woman' they say 'marriage woman'. And for me, i have issues spelling words having vowels 'I' and 'E' together. Eg, deceive, recieve, concieve. *i'm not sure if i spelt them correctly.

Nah it's receive and conceive...It's can also mean 'it has'

epospiky: Aha! Just learnt something today. deft slap not dirty slap as commonly used. Please is it afterall or after all? 'Afterall' we learn daily.

It's After all.

Deft slap could be correct since it means quick and neat so you can give some one a deft slap buh that doesn't mean 'dirty slap' is wrong...dirty" in this case is used as an intensifier, or it denotes the form in which the slap was delivered i.e an 'underhand' slap

ZACHIE:
Shut up!
Both are correct.

Nawaooo you make dictionary bros... Lwkmd

Ahmadjr:

you don't get what she's on about

There is no ambiguity in wt she said,if so she can defend herself

But na understanding matter o.

you are not ready to learn

londoner: @OP, I had a good laugh. We all sometimes make grammatical mistakes and have to go back to edit. It becomes an issue, when we don't realise that it is a mistake. I quite often make spelling mistakes, I must say.

You really hit the nail on the head, but for me it's the way common words are pronounced which is quite shocking.

I often wonder whether Nigerians know about the concept of silent letters, in common English words.

Especially, words like plumber, or bomb. The 'b' which should be silent, is instead pronounced.

I hate it soo much.....lol

You guys should really stop generalizing every negativity...just cuz a few or even most people do something doesn't make it okay to tag the nation as doing it.

Nmeri17:

liar!!! their boat the same tin

Michael is also always misspelt as Micheal

Did u go to sec school or sunday lesson...seriously!!

emusmith: I speak pidgin but I hate it... when I speak it to my neighbours, they reply with English...Honestly (not forming whatsoever), Pidgin and I don't agree...I am in love with British English.

Lol, i currently reside in an army barrack and pidgin comes with the territory... my little bro and i do speak brit tho and other guys would be like "wetin dey do una sef, na only una go xkul" seriously it's annoying to them not like i bloody care.. wish we were friends bruh

MEILYN: It's high time you leave my house- wrong. It's high time you left my house- correct

"It's time you left my house" also correct

emusmith: You are more like a "Chip of the Old Block"?

Ahmad... I totally understand... we can be... add me on bbm...check my profile

Marc9: The sad thing is that most people on this thread pointing out grammatical errors and spellings likely never scored Distinction(A1) in their English language. Can a white man spell "SANGO"? (I bet he'd spell it as SONG-O), can he spell "MAGUN"? (MAGOON). So what's the fuss about eh? And when would white men begin to study Yoruba, or Igbo or Hausa as a language course in their School curricula?

What in the name of God are you going on about.. English is your lingua franca for crying out loud. And btw some whites do study our tribal languages though there's no reason they should., it's not like u go around studying Native American languages like Coushatta , Aleut, Alutiiq I mean why should you? and why should they?

So when Good luck becomes a name nko

I've met white people who can speak fluent Yoruba and Igbo.

MissMeiya:

moriton: So when Good luck becomes a name nko
