BRATISLAVA:


Are my to take these you're submission serious?

I'll admit to that kindly being one of my peeves. And that people need to quit the antiquated letter writing indentations etc.

Overall, I think Nigerians do well with grovelling rubber stamped emails/letters. That is letters that don't need creativity and are constantly humbly requesting this or that. The main problem is that they never pay attention to what they are being taught. They all follow one pattern, good or bad. If you send in something, you see everyone copying it. I still think they aren't that bad they need IELTS. Just spoken tests. They can copy the right way to do mail when they get in.

However...

Isn't it in Nigeria that people write kneels instead of knees with such boldness? "A advice"? I'm not a grammar Nazi, so I'm going to keep shut on it... But I feel it's the pronunciation that causes that problem.

We are all bound to make mistakes, though. Even native speakers, otherwise English classes would've had much better grades. Plus I feel I'm that terrible at foreign languages.

It isn't kolo issues. It's observations on happenings in the language sphere.

I've given up on kneels vs knees. The one I'm about to give up is "I base" as in "I base in Abuja" if I hear it two more times again I'm done.

You'll be done then. Bet you will see it once below, and once more from a based person.

I hate that I base(d) and off the... though.
