Some tidbits from Mesthrie and Bhatt about East African English Syntax

• Pluralizations of mass nouns (or mass nouns treated as count nouns), e.g., bums, laps, and bottoms, as in "My bums hurt after falling on them".
• The treatment of nose as plural, e.g., noses, as in, "My noses are runny".
• Inconsistency in use of gender specific subject pronouns, e.g., “My husband who was in England, she was by then my fiancé”.
