A young lady has sparked mixed reactions online after sharing a message her father sent to their family group chat, expressing his frustration over the heavy use of slang and Pidgin English among family members.
In the lengthy text, her father raised concerns about what he described as the street, uneducated language style frequently used in the group.
He noted that many members of the family are graduates, yet their communication does not reflect the level of education they possess.
Emphasizing the need for change, he added that adopting coherent and grammatically correct language would better reflect the maturity and status of everyone in the group.
“There is one negative thing I have observed in the language style on this platform. The language style is usually that of street uneducated elements. Yet I know that most, if not all in the house, are graduates. Unfortunately, the language style herein does not reflect this truism. The need for a change have become imperative, a decideratum. Let coherent
grammatical language style prevail to reflect maturity and status of members of the house. I come in peace.” His text read.
His message has since generated buzz online, with many amused by his formal tone, while others agreed that Pidgin and slang, though fun, can sometimes overshadow clear communication.
