《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.

Cosmic Bulldozing Team
"Welcome to the Cosmic Bulldozing Team! CBT for short... references to any other acronyms are purely coincidental." Breve has one exceptional gift: an inborn potential for Resurrection magic. The cost? Every other healing spell she casts is absolutely paltry in comparison to the rest of her race, making her family outcasts within her society. That potential alone, however, classes Breve as a Rank A Healer. By what metric? Well, by the crazy elf lady who’s about to destroy her planet. Wait, what? Here's the low-down: her planet has been targeted by the Cosmic Bulldozing Team, which, as their name suggests, operates in the apparently lucrative business of destroying planets. This comes with the unfortunate side-effect of also murdering everyone who lives there. And Breve would’ve been killed, too, if she hasn’t unintentionally passed their audition for a new healer. Unwillingly saved by the people who just annihilated everything Breve ever knew and loved, she’s dragged into a massive spaceship before, without a moment’s reprieve, being assigned missions to sally forth and commit the same atrocities on other planets. And with Breve's home lying in a pile of celestial bedrock, it seems that cooperating is the only option. And she will cooperate, or so help her, they'll send her back whence she came: into the void of space, where the smashed rubble of her planet now drifts along. "Buckle in, rookie: you've got some planetary destruction ahead of you." (Updates every 2 days.)
