Sometimes you have to come out of your GENTLEMAN shell and give those eeeediots what they deserve

the most annoying part is, he boasts like hell, he has enough ego to balance the collective ego of every other person on nairaland. For someone who claims to be so intelligent, his comment turned out to be a very foolish and embarrassing one.

Blackett:
First of all, your English is very poor. It's wrong for you to demand what you cannot give. . . Secondly, girls like you are easily enticed with money. "Na english I wan chop" easily becomes your favorite phrase.

When you meet a rich dude with cash to splash, and whose english isn't up to standard (standard you do not have), you'll encourage him to enroll in English classes.

Being a hypocrite has never helped anyone.

Don't mind her. By the time she get married, she will then realize that American ascent no dey put foot on the table.

Relax dude..accent and good English are very diverse..understand me

"accent and good English are diverse"....really?....I believe you meant different.

do you know the meaning of diverse and how to use it properly in a sentence or are you just trying to use "big words" in order to sound intelligent.

I thought you had given a long time ago up trying to seek my attention

Go check your dictionary.. Fool !!!

Kindly point to where I said I cannot date a lady who is structurally and constructively deficient

This is not a lame to get my attention you inconsequential goat

Quote me and I won't reply you

Goat is a mean word bro, never use that on someone not on a social medium like nairaland. You lose your respect by doing that. One love bro and remember your fans are always watching.

[b]Hm, interesting albeit kinda funny ol'thread.
Based off of my cursory attempt to skim through some of the responses, and in consideration of your original thoughts, here's my take:

1. I'm living proof of the dividends of eloquence. I concur entirely that, for the most part, it even makes up for what guys may be lacking in other departments eg. looks, pocket weight confidence (or lack of it) etc. If this were a church, consider this my testimony to the goodness of my eloquence in "earning" me chics that hitherto belonged only to my dreams.

2. On a rather trivial note, I see absolutely nothing particularly wrong with your punctuation, especially as represented on a very informal medium such as this. It is my own opinion that you might have ruffled more than a few feathers and certain hurt egos were indubitably bound to lash back. I would not expend a second of my time in response to them.

3. Now, to answer your question, yes, most definitely, I would date someone whose English is poor. Although there can be no excuses in a society like ours where schooling is common and English is the official language of general communication, I'm of the opinion that English is not our mother tongue and it would be unfair to judge personalities based solely on their English language prowess. However, I would honestly only "date" without a long-term plan to sustain that relationship. For a rather serious date, hell nawww... I think I'll be too conscious of the potential risks of public embarrassment.

Nuff said. [/b]

What if my Igbo, Izon, Yoruba, Bini or Fufulde is fluent & eloquent? That's not enough?

Must we be crazy about another man's native tongue? When you're not a lawyer, journalist or a professional along those lines.
By the way, I have good command of several European languages. It learnt because I needed to.

But I'm not crazy about them, including English.

Please i need a good advice.

I just met this lady in the pics last month but she just can't speak one correct sentence in English. Should i ditch her?

I dont know how you guys see it..but I admire guys who speak pure,polished and neat English.. It's a turn on for me,when I see someone with an impeccable eloquence,that minute i don't even care if you are broke or ugly..I just respect them.
But for guys with bad eloquence, I'm not trying to insult or intimidate you, you could always brush up your English, I want guys to know that good eloquence,fluent usage of English is a huge turn on for girls especially the brilliant ones, or so I think...
So,what's ur take on it?

It depends, I am somebody that overlook little weaknesses like that, especially if you can compensate for it in character, believe and judgement.

The foolish Blackett claims to be so intelligent na fool him be

Just that I have said, you can combine all the words in the dictionary in a sentence but that doesn't mean your sentence(s) will be void of illiteracy and stupid.ity

Its very obvious you find it difficult to understand..yea I'm an Igbo girl and I'm verrrrry proud of my language..but we all know that our official language here in Nigeria is English language,before u start toasting a girl and you don't knw where she comes from,don't u use English? Its that first impression that I'm talking abt here. personally I need to know that u re good with English before speaking my native language with u

turn your brain on!

I am sure if an American "toasts" you, you will readily fall head long due to his "good" English, while in reality the average American speaks English that is wrong in syntax, akin to our own brand off "pidgin" English, some pants sagging, gun totting, jailbird from a ghetto in new York will easily sweep you off your feet?

huh?
