OP got it all wotng in number 26. You're mannerless You're ill-mannered Both are correct as both are adjectives and both "mannerless" and "ill-mannered" means exactly the same thing. No 19 is also worrisome. How does "I left my phone behind" convey that one actually forgot his phone and not deliberately left it? 1 Like |

Americans have their English, British same thing, Canadians and Australians. Most of those things you wrote there are our own Nigerian English. We speak it within ourselves and even to outsiders and they understand. Who told you that they are wrong. We are tired of somebody telling us that our English is wrong. We are not copying British again. We have Nigerianised our own English deal with that. 1 Like |
