Nigerians have taken to social media to express their outrage towards an American influencer who claimed that the word 'delve' is only used in academic circles. The influencer, known as Graham, faced severe criticism from Nigerians who pointed out his lack of understanding of how the English language is used worldwide, particularly among ESL (English as a Second Language) speakers.

The backlash against the influencer sparked a heated debate online, with many defending the widespread usage of 'delve' in various contexts beyond academia. Graham's comments reignited discussions about language diversity and the importance of recognizing how words can have different meanings and applications across cultures.

In the midst of the social media frenzy, it became evident that linguistic diversity and cultural awareness are topics that resonate strongly with Nigerians. The incident served as a reminder of the power of words to unite or divide communities, emphasizing the need for intercultural communication and understanding.
