Guys

Oloo still lives in the old English colonist life or mentality, where Africans were supposed to know English better than even their own mother language. What a shame of an education. I am afraid that wisdom and cleverness sometimes does not fit in one head. Has he even heard how a German or a french or a Dutchman speaks English even though their countries are much closer to Britain than even the former colony like Kenya?. Most of the diasporas live in countries where English is not even the spoken language. Places like Spain even TVs are all in Spanish even if the movie is made in Hollywood it has to be translated into Spanish before it is shown in the TV. Those are the people who are proud of who they are. Oloo should learn to do the right thing at the right time. I think who wrote about Magaret`s affair managed very well to pass the information he wanted to do despite of only one additional o or zero according to Mr. Oloo. I still look to one time or one day when we Africans will eventually know who we are and where we came from. What the hell should somebody take a lot of time learning and speaking other peoples language at a time when his mother language needs development and does not have even an elementary dictionary ?. And given the fact that the English is some baggers language who was even a colonist, a slave diller, a thieve, a skin head, a racist, a land grabber, a killer etc?.

i think the guy is very intelligent in English and he may be too idle. How many of us have time to reread what we have written. In any case who told him only the ones who know English grammar very well are the ones who contribute here. English is our second language.What is his contribution?

Are we now teaching grammar here or there’s a point to this?

If teaching grammar, do it privately. It’s in poor taste to embarrass one in public.

Courage

On a light touch:

The Bishop is no longer MP.

But did she lose or “loose”?

Sometimes we lose it when we are loose with the lingo.
