Word Reference Forum - Improve your British English here. Good day friend! Hope you know what this group is? Whether yes or no, I have come to tell you what it is. This group named Word Reference Forum was formally known as ethics and moral group , but now the name has been changed to word reference forum. You may wonder the reason why the name was changed, the answer is not miscelaneous, it is because the functions of this present group are beyond the realm of the ethics and moral. This group has been redesigned to improve and study the British English in a nut shell. We all know that English is a rule itself and for that I have created this group to give a field for people to gamble and research on the rules. You will be surprised to see yourself learn not less than twenty rules in English language just as a fun. This group is for all and sundry. Everybody is advised to participate in it as English in Nigeria today is a general language. Children, youths and elders speak English, we use English almost everyday unless those at villages where vernaculars are preferred. For the enlightened ones, we know English is a compulsory. Why not make it a compulsory to visit this group at least once in a week.? Why not share some of those words, phrasal verbs,indioms and clinchés that have been confusing you with people in this group.? When I was telling one of my friends who had gone to the University and studied English language as a profession about this group, he told me that he had already known all that people would present here, that this group was of no use to him. I laughed as I didnt expect that from him. Not long ago as we were discussing somebody called him, at a certain juncture it seemed that the voice from the network was cracking at his partners side, he said I am hearing you, speak up. After the call I told the young pompous show off that he had made a mistake. He said ...and what is that? I answered him that you dont use HEAR in a progresive term as in hearing. He said Oh! is a mistake. I didnt know if it was realy a mistake or that he was in ignorance of that, but the simple truth is that nobody is infallible. Dont use that you are a graduate or an upper class to say that this group is not for you. Again for those in marketing sectors; dont use that you are a businessman to relinquish this group. In fact, in Nigeria today education has become an impasse to those illetrate businessmen. It is crushing to see how businessmen are collapsing in their businesses in our society today. The major cause of this is benightedness. You will be in your shop and an eighteen-years-old guy with simple grammer dupe you into giving all your money to him. You know that untutored people always understand any person that speaks big grammar as a learned person. Like this they give all their money to even a secondary school drop-out with the sake of dobbling their income. Come to this group and start articulating your own grammar. However, it baffles me when I see some of the people that called themselves graduates speak English. Sometimes, you may be asking yourself if the person speaking to you is indeed a graduate. Often, it appears that the person is erudite but does not know English rules. Still yet, is it possible for one to pass his papers without the knowledge of rules in English.? Yes! The person may be cramming his lecturers note/text, still bad! Wake up, learn and create your own factual note. It is not that you naturally dont know English language but because you were not taught English concretely at your primary and secondary school levels. It pains realy but lets work out the problem here. In this group we be discussing the errors commonly made in English language, discuss the misused/miswritten words, tense balancing and rules, intricacy of pronunciation, words commonly used by students, words commonly used by businessmen, words commonly used by those in campus, words commonly used by those in brewery, words to be used in bank, words to be used to address a lecturer, words to be used in politics, quotes, idioms, clinchés, and phrasal verbs in relation to our present environment etc. These we be doing every saturday. Please do not leave this post without commenting. Your comment should base on how you see this group and things that may help improve the group. I also plead that everybody should add his/her friends to this group as the bigger we are the bigger errors will be sent and the faster we resolve it and learn. Thanks and may God bless you!
