Bad Grammar: Touring One of Abuja’s Secret Paradises
Background
Comfort Properties is a real estate
channel focused on finding properties for clients who need accommodation or
homes in various parts of the Nigerian capital city, Abuja. It currently has
over 19,000 subscribers and has posted about 100 videos.
The videos provide information
about the various kinds of property available, their location and purchase
prices. They also occasionally feature real estate from other parts of Africa.
My Comments
In this YouTube title, there
is an obvious grammatical error stemming from a lack of pluralization. The first
two words of the statement: “One of…” suggest that there are several items out
of which a selection will be made. Since there is already a suggestion that there
are several examples of what is being discussed, it would be incorrect to
follow “One of”, which suggests many, with the singular “paradise” which
implies one. This creates confusion within the statement.
The correct form of this statement
should be:
“Touring one of Abuja’s
secret paradises built for the elite.”
