My Comments
The title could have been improved
grammatically in several ways. Foremost is establishing a proper agreement
between the subject, “Biggie,” and the verb, “punish.”
Nigerian creators on YouTube have a
serious problem understanding how the subject and verb are supposed to harmonize
in a sentence.
The verb "punish" has to
be in the third person singular form to match the subject "Biggie." That
singular form of the verb takes an ‘-es’ at the end.
As such it should be "punishes."
Also, the inclusion of an article ‘the’ before the word ‘housemates’ would help clarify that the statement is a reference to a particular group of individuals. Properly written posts enhance the readability, precision and professionalism of content put out for the world to consume.
