And this member who always dissect English . She should understand everywhere english is spoken differently so it’s not right thing to judge.
specially in western countries they don’t care much about grammar and here I am taking about the people with mother tongue English (and I deal with them on daily basis as live here from last 12 years ) So shall we judge them also just because it is not according to our standard?
When one says gold medalist it automatically makes them the master of something. Its an achievement that differentiates you and puts you higher than others. If I add Im a gold medalist in my MBBS people automatically will think im good in it. Simple logic.
Here shes not only bad but horrible in normal spoken English. Her vocabulary and pronunciation is worst than a person not having a degree in English. Either she got khairat / paid ki degree or the school has questionable staff who might not be good themselves.
Either way she made a fool of herself and the school that gave her gold medal. This has nothing to do with mother tongue or grammar or career.
Also westerners don't claim to have gold medal so I dont judge them.
