Once at least, a person lost their lives in an auto crash , it is no longer a ghastly accident.

At that point, it is a fatal accident.

Not everybody had the joy of a fantastic education. (1 Cor 4:7). There's a family friend who who never given home work throughout his primary and secondary education. He later went to a university. He is in the UK now.

I once worked as the Admin manager of a private security company. I was in charge of documentation of new security operatives. I was a little disappointed when many did not know they finished their secondary school.

It later dawned on me that many never finished. They dropped out of school. I, who went to private schools from nursery to secondary school(except for a one year stint in a command school) took a while to comprehend. We are not all the same.

We should show empathy by ignoring such mistake and focus on the purpose of this thread. He would appreciate that.


You might be right in your postulation that not everyone had the opportunity to experience sound education.

But then, you have to understand that it is often times very difficult for me to just see such glaring errors and skip them, most especially when those grammatical errors are such that even primary school pupils won't even make such.

How many times do we need to tell people that "Am " does not start a sentence in English except in the cases where those sentences are questions?

But yet we continue to see it everyday because these people cannot or does not want to learn.

Believe me, if you tell a primary school pupil that "Am" is wrong, that the correct thing is either "I am " or " I'm ", the child will learn it immediately.

But what do we have here?

Adults who may even be boasting that they are graduates will be writing nonsense and disgracing their parents who paid their school feels as well as ALL their English teachers in the process. lipsrsealed

For me, I strongly believe that correcting such errors will help anybody who wants to learn and improve in their grammar.

Albeit, there are still people who easily feel offended and violated for pointing out such errors of theirs to them.

So, to me, it all depends on which side of the divide you have chosen to stand with.

Do you want to be corrected so that you can learn and improve your English grammar? Do you feel like you are being violated when your stupid errors are pointed out to you?

Be my guest.

I am only doing my job.

Good evening to you all. I don't know if this is the right place to drop this.

Am a married man. I lived in the same compound with my best friend sister. We Just moved into the neighborhood not too long (11 months ago). My friend's sister is also married with kids.

Let me go straight to the point, ever since we moved into the compound this woman has been disturbing my wife with gossip. She's a full house wife while my wife is running a M.sc programme but due to ASUU strike, she has being at home. This woman will come to my wife and talk bad things about everyone living in the neighborhood including those living in our compound. Most funny thing about her is that once she leave our apartment, she's moving into the next apartment.

My wife and I have studied her very well that most time we try to avoid, ignore or resist her from coming to our house but to no avail.
Not that I can't warn her to stop coming but am trying to avoid issues that will arise between me and my friend and also her husband.

She was keeping malice with another woman (Mrs Adelaku) in our compound because the woman ignored her totally as a result of her gossip.

Last two weeks Mrs Adelaku came to our apartment to invite my wife to her brother's wedding and as a result of that she thinks my wife is getting closer to that woman. (Who thinks who is getting closer to who?)

Yesterday she came to our house and confronted my wife of gossiping with the other woman (Mrs Adelaku) about her. That when neighbors are trying to settle issues between her and Mrs Adelaku that she quoted my wife. She accused my wife of telling Mrs Adelaku everything she has being telling her. And also tell my wife not to confront Mrs Adelaku.?

But my wife went to Mrs Adelaku that same day to confront her but she swear with the bible and everything she has that she never tell her anything related to that. That perphers she and my wife are not a gist partner if not for the wedding invitation that she brought.

With anger, my wife went back to this woman (my friend sister) and tell her what the woman said. She later apologies to my wife that it was a trick. That she just wants to know their discussing that when she came with the wedding I.V she discovered that the woman (Mrs Adelaku) stayed a little bit longer in our apartment.

Ever since my wife has developed so much hatred for her/ her husband and even my friend that she doesn't want to see anyone of them again in our apartment.

Am so sorry for the long story, am not to good in this. Kindly bear with me.

What can I do in this situation? Matured mind please, thanks.

I am so ashamed reading this.

Your grammar is so poor.

Is this the type of nonsense you want to teach your kids, Mr. Married Man? undecided undecided undecided

I support the continuation of IELTS for Nigerians.

As long as so many Nigerian youths have refused to correct themselves from using "Am" where they should be using "I'm", then it is of no use claiming that you went to an English speaking school because obviously, you've not even learnt anything at all with regards to basic English Grammar.
