Imagine Reno Omokri mocking someone that made mistake, with blunders!

Reno Omokri said:

"..quality of advise....... your shortcomings in the English Language is 'compromising' your job performance as spokesman".
Quality of advise advice.

So obvious the verb going with that plural subject "shortcomings" should be a plural are, not is.

thinks he stands take heed that he does not

grin grin grin cheesy Savage! Rather Garba Shehu embarrassed himself as being a former NUJ chair he should be better informed that he need to properly proof read whatsoever he put out for consumption by the reading public. sad

Meanwhile Buhari is a confirmed "olodo" yet stupidly choose to surround himself with higher order olodos.

"Shortcomings" in the context presented was used as a "collective noun" and in such instances collectives are allowed to be accompanied by a singular verb.

Collective noun for what?

Any need for making just a mistake Garba Shehu made, a collective noun in the context?

In different examples I've seen shortcomings appearing. it is treated as a plural of shortcoming. Unlike numerous collective nouns like "herd, choir, team, squad" etc.

Is shortcoming not a noun ? Are collection of many shortcomings of Garba Shehu as captured in Reno' s context not a collective noun? There was nothing wrong in Renos syntax as posted and how related his nouns to verbs .

You are right Reno should have used "advice "at that point instead of "advise" since he was trying to relate a noun and not a verb .... you got that right sir

A collection is a single unit that typically consists of many similar things organized together.

So where are the many similar shortcomings which were put together by Reno to make the "shortcomings" in the context a collective noun?

We know that animals of a specie (eg cows) make up the collective word, herd. You can never bring together cows and dogs and call them a herd

Reno Omokri's "shortcomings" in the context was referring to different shortcomings of Garba Shehu, from the blunder (compromising, instead of comprising) and advice (from omokri's statement, "quality of advise" ). Are we going to lob these two different things together as collective nouns?

Moreover, the " quality of advise he said is also contextually right?

Reno goofed, no need concealing that fact.

What exactly are u correcting? The use of the word advise is correct. Refer to your dictionary.

Advise is a verb meaning “to give counsel to; offer an opinion or suggestion as worth following.” Advice is a noun meaning “an opinion or recommendation offered as a guide to action, conduct, etc.”

Secondly how can you say "your shortcomings in the english language are compromising your job performance as spokesman? Does it make any sense to you?
Take you "L" like a man though. No one is a fountain of knowledge
