Good of apc
work on proofreading and editing your news article thoroughly before publishing. Too many grammatically blunders and errors. makes the news look more like a sham. e.g you meant to say “he IS the chairman BOT….” NOT “he HIS the chairman BOT……” Many more blunders. Not appealing for publication.
English Language is dynamic, there is and has never been “An absolute English”. The language today is spoken relatively to its users and location. You can make millions by selling yourself in the news papers over there rather than boring yourself to correct spelling mistakes. George Bush Grammar errors and his pronunciation where approaching infinity, but he was still a great speaker to the millions of Americans who respected him. Ex minister Gordon Brown grammatical errors and spelling mistakes were unbelievable couple with the fact that he is Born British.
Kindly Spear us this Grammatical Error corrections, they are lost wishes of the now forgotten British Empire. Unless you are still living your lives in past.
