Bad Grammar: Anita and I Need to Talk About My Age
Background
Classic FM 97.3 is a prominent
radio station located in Lagos, Nigeria. It is known for its diverse music
programming and engaging shows. Its YouTube channel has over 10,000 subscribers
and has posted 167 videos to date. This image is from an interview with
contestants on the reality TV show Big Brother Naija Season 9. The theme of Season
9 is “No Loose Guard.”
My Comments
This is another careless, halfhearted
work carried out by a media organization that should be setting a high standard
for others to emulate. The independent statements in the title are either
unclear, poorly arranged or have grammatical problems.
The phrasing of the statement: “Kassia
and Kellyrae sneaked to touch” is awkward and confounding. A better way to
write this could be: “Kassia and Kellyrae sneaked off to touch (something or
each other).” The forward slash ‘/’ after the first statement could be replaced
with a vertical bar ‘|.’ This would look better and neater. Alternatively, ending
the first statement with a period and starting the second separately would
improve readability.
The various errors make the title look
strange and unprofessional. When writing a YouTube title, clarity is essential
even if your intention is to build mystery and curiosity.
A more correct form of this title could be:
“Kassia and Kellyrae Sneaked off to Touch (something) | Anita and I Need to Talk about
My Age”
