《Being Nigerian In A Foreign Country.》Brits vs the English language!
Advertisement
So you'll think that British people would know how to speak English correctly. You know, they are the 'English', inventors of the language and all that . . .
But no. They don't.
Most of them don't know shishi about the language. All they know how to do is speak with their accent. When it comes to the core basis of it, grammar, writing? Nothing.
And they have the guts to be making fun of people with other accents.
Mtcheww! You people should gerrarahere!
I swear, the only thing that is saving them is their accent. Whether the grammar is right or wrong o, the accent will cover it up for them and they can get away with it.
**
"I heard that you was there last night." This is a statement you'll from an English person.
"You was?"
"You was??"
Ahh! That is a grammatical blunder.
It's you were! "I heard that you were there last night"
And then they go on to say, "she weren't there last night."
Imagine o. "You was. She weren't."
Hmm.
And there's another one that vexes me, especially in their writing.
"Oh I could of gone to the market yesterday."
I really don't understand. "Could of!?" Does that make sense?
Could of . . .
Should of. . .
would of. . .
It's could . . .
Would . . .
Should . . .
Okay?
You couldn't OF done something, you know why? Because you can't OF done it.
But I'll tell you what. You could HAVE done it.
Arrghh!!! It does my head in.
Then there's this one. The way they interchangeably use "your" and "you're", "there," "their" and "they're" in writing.
"Thank you for you're patience."
Clearly the apostrophe, the contracted word, should give it away that 'you're' = 'you are'
It should, right?
You people should use your brain biko.
Their use and misuse of punctuation too. Appalling! They'll just write and write on, no capital letters, no punctuation a you anywhere, it'll end up not making any sense.
Ahn ahh!
Hahahahaha. It's what happens when you don't use common comma in a sentence.
And they will start making fun of other people who have different accent to theirs, but really understands the English language.
For real though.

Chronicles of Rathia - The Era of Blood
Welcome to the Chronicles of Rathia. Contained within is a trilogy of stories which are all set in different time periods and with different characters. Each story has its own era from The Era of Blood, The Era of Magic and The Era of Demons. Read along the first in the series which is The Era of Blood where magic is still in an infant stage and where swords can dominate the battle field. In The Era of Blood, you follow along the first main character who had his memories wiped clean except for the most basic things in life. It is up to him to find out how to get his memories back and why they are gone. (If you don't like the story layout or characters, I suggest either just reading through or wait till the next one in the series is being released. With how it's set up, you can enjoy any of the three in the trilogy but of course reading in order will help give a better understanding of the world.) (Side authors note - I'm currently reworking the first several chapters as they are lacklustre to myself since they were originally a draft and not concrete at first. This note will stay here until all the chapters I wanted to fix up are done.)
