It's not bad grammar. It's just not American English.
- titanomachy 4y agoEvery other line of the IM transcript would be grammatically incorrect in any English-speaking country I’m aware of. “All hotel and booking has been made and trips has been plnanned” “Is this how you want to be difficult” “I will send you later” Where is any of that considered correct English? If my manager sent any of those message I’d be worried about a stroke.
- snotrockets 4y agoPidgin dialects of English are no less correct than more wildly use dialects of English (grammar rules are shaped by the speaker of a dialect or language, as they use it, they are only set from on high when some people like to declare others as "unwanted" users of that language. But I digress)
- geocrasher 4y agoFalse. "Do you track the check" "I will send you later" "A IT director Lead from the company..." "...by purchasing the home office equipments..." "Immediately the funds are available, you will be directed..." That's not even mentioning the smorgasbord of run-on sentences, weird capitalizations, etc. Yes, there's a lot of non American English. But it's presented as coming from an American given that the job listing is all US and that name is an American (or at least Anglo) name.
- ngc248 4y agoEven Indian English follows grammatical rules, the difference would be the words used, idiomatic sentences etc.
- snotrockets 4y agoSlightly different grammatical rules. For example, some dialects of Indian English use the present participle for future tense (similar to some Caribbean dialects)
